Somebody's brother did something today
Somebody's brother
Something unspeakable so hard to believe
But he was somebody's brother 
It's easy to judge maybe we have the right
But there's more to a story than we see in the night
For every lost soul maybe we played our part
To shatter a heart with so much to hide

We've all been alone
We've all had pain
Some of us get through
Some of us break
It's so hard to understand
The hurt inside a man
And harder to forgive 
Until we love one another
Like somebody's brother 

Somebody's brother might've been mine
Or was it your brother
If only, if only I could wash away
The pain for the other's
In one broken moment everything changed
But are we branded by our darkest day
And all the years that only held the best of us
Are they all just swept away

We've all been alone
We've all had pain
Some of us get through
Some of us break
It's so hard to understand
The hurt inside a man
And harder to forgive 
Until we love one another
Like somebody's brother
Somebody's brother
Oh somebody's brother
Somebody's brother
