India Arie - Brothers' Keeper Lyrics

Brothers and sisters!

Hey!

Will I walk what I talk

Will I open my heart
Can you trust when I give him my word
Will I judge him or love him
But nothing above him
Help him to see what he's worth
Can I attend to his needs?
When he's down to his knees?
Can I till the light in his eyes
Can I lend him a hand
And he'll still be a man
Can I run but still be by his side

I am my brother's keeper
Yes I am!
Am I my brother's teacher?
Yes I am!
Am I the one to reach him?
Yes I am!
Am I my brother's keeper?
Yes I am!
Yes I am!

Can he push to the edge when he's out on a ledge?
Can I help him to think with his heart
When he's wrong when he's right
I'll be there to remind him
He's made in the image of God
When he's troubled with troubles
He needs to know
That his mistakes don't define his life
I'm a living example that there's a chance for redemption
On the other side

I'm my brother's keep
Yes I am!
Am I the one to teach him?
Yes I am!
Am I the one to reach him?
Yes I can!
Am I my brother's keeper?
Yes I am!
Yes I am!

Sing together like
Hey!

Am I my brother's teacher?
Yes I am!
Am I the one to reach him?
Yes I am!
Am I my brother's keeper?
Yes I am!
Yes I am!
Am I my brother's keeper?
Yes I am!
Am I my brother's teacher?
Yes I am!
Am I the one to reach him?
Yes I am!
Yes I am!
Yes I am!
Yes I am!
