BROTHER: She has loved you more than anything and anyone has done
She gave to you her strongest arm and her ever shining sun
She has given a gift to you that you never can repay
but open your eyes and look around, that was but yesterday
Your once bleeding heart is bleeding no more
And for three years running you locked your door
I know you were hurt but it's time to stand
The happiness you seek is by your hand
HE: Then tell me how, my brother, for my heart is no longer young
For three silent years my heart could not love, my heart has not sung
I want to move on, my brother, but my heart is still in fear
Will I be able to love another as I once loved her?
Brother, I fear I could not love better
Anyone at all, as I have loved her
I want to move on, my brother, I do
But am I ready to love a love true?
Am I that ready to be loved and have so much of that pain?
Suppose I am rushing. I would love and get burned up again.
Or suppose I will not burn, but be a burden of a love
Am I ready to risk, to hurt, to cage a free flying dove?
I tell you, I have not been that better
As now I think of love, I think of her
I want to move on. I say this true
But am I ready to love just like you?
BROTHER:Your once bleeding heart is bleeding no more
So pick up your head and burst through that door
Risk it all, risk all that is in your hand
Now pick up heart, and by all means, STAND.
