Brothers Lyrics - Mary Gauthier

War ripped my baby from my breast 

Now my name and rank cover my chest 

Twenty three hours I flew and wept twenty three hours I never slept 

I wiped my face changed my soaking bra 

Told my body not feel at all 

I tried to be like you, what must I do 

To prove that I'm a brother too 

I though rpgs were fireworks, that's how green I was at first 

Blood blistered feet, black and blue 

I slid inside my blood filled boots 

Seventy lb pack, plus you on my back 

Spilled my blood on the road, main I carried my load 

Kept you in my view I'd die for you 

Don't that make me a brother too 

It's ok to cry, that's what you say but if I do I'm damned anyway 

I learned to cry without a sound 'cause I'm afraid you'll put me down

You broke my heart on veterans day 

Don't you understand the words you say 

You raised a flag for the men who served 

What about the women what do we deserve 

I was just like you when the bullets flew 

I had your back you had mine too 

Brothers in arms your sisters covered you 

Don't that make us your brothers too 

Say it for me, say it for you 

Your sisters are your brothers too
