You Can Count On Me
I'll stand by him through thick and thin,
because we have the same blood under our skin,
Too many things in this world come and go,
I want this to be real, not just for show.
Before life pulled us apart,
now its time for a new start.
He moved out and we had a big age difference,
now he is back home and I've loved it ever since.
I'm starting to get to know him and what he is about,
now its hard to imagine life without.
He surprised me in so many different ways,
it is hard to put in just one phrase.
He is so talented and gifted,
I just wish his spirits could be uplifted.
If he just could see what he is capable of,
he could do anything that he loves.
No matter what his decision is, its right,
if someone says otherwise, I'll stand by his side and fight.
Lately for him it has been a bumpy ride,
but it doesn't matter, I'll be by his side.
In this life we all need at least one person we can count on,
to be there through the night and stay til dawn.
I wish he would count on me and not another.
I wish he could see that he can count on his brother.
