I will be my brother's keeper, not the one who judges him
D C2 G Em7 A7sus A7
I won't despise him for his weakness, I won't regard him for his strength

I won't take away his freedom, I will help him learn to stand
D C2 G Em7
And I will, I will be my brother's keeper

Now this roof has got a few missing shingles
But at least we got ourselves a roof
And they say that she's a fallen angel
I wonder if she recalls when she last flew
There's no point in pointing fingers unless you're pointing to the truth
