You were the first to ever hold my candle
Picked up the flag when I just could not handle it
You are the only one I'd ever trust to walk me home

You knew me long before I knew myself
From far away, without a word, you heard my cry for help
And from my knees you carried me all of the way back home

Time has turned the tables on us both
No, you're not alone
Fight on, fight on, little brother
With the power and the grace of our mother
Fight on, fight on, little brother
With the calm and the strength of our father
When you grow tired and you're wearing thin
That's where love steps in

You were the first to ever really listen
Picked up my shield when I had trouble lifting it
Now, let me be the one to hold your hand and guide you home

Fight on, fight on, little brother
With the power and the grace of our mother
Fight on, fight on, little brother
With the calm and the strength of our father
When you grow tired and you're wearing thin
That's where love steps in

Love steps in
Love steps in
Love steps in
Love steps in

Oh, fight on, fight on, little brother
With the power and the grace of our mother
Fight on, fight on, little brother
With the calm and the strength of our father
Fight on, fight on, little brother
With the power and the grace of our mother
Fight on, fight on, little brother
With the calm and the strength of our father
When you grow tired and you're wearing thin
When you grow tired and you're wearing thin
That's where love steps in
