Though I've never met you
And we've spoke not a word
I'll never forget you
Through the stories that I've heardFor you, unknown brother
My baby's mother's in pain
'Cause your soul is in heaven
But your memory remainsUnknown, unknown brother
I'll meet you someday
Unknown, unknown brother
We'll walk through fields where children playYour eyes shined bright
When you were a kid
Your sisters loved you
And all that you didBig brother, big brother
Don't worry a bit
Your flame has not faded
Since the day it was litYour life was joy
You're mama's only boy
And when the skies are blue
Big brother they're blue for youWe'll smile at pictures
Of you as a boy
Before you retire
To heavenly joyUnknown, unknown brother
I'll meet you someday
Unknown, unknown brother
We'll walk through fields where children play
