Brother's Keeper
"Now the plummer's got a drip in his spigot
The mechanic's got a clank in his car
And the preacher's thinking thoughts that are wicked
And the lover's got a lonely heart
My friends ain't the way I wish they were
They are just the way they are
And I will be my brother's keeper
Not the one who judges him
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
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
And I will be my brother's keeper
Not the one who judges him
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
And I will ~ I will be my brother's keeper
I will be my brother's keeper
Not the one who judges him
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
And I will ~ I will be my brother's keeper"
Guardián del Hermano
Ahora el plomero tiene una gotera en su grifo
El mecánico tiene un ruido en su auto
Y el predicador está pensando pensamientos malvados
Y el amante tiene un corazón solitario
Mis amigos no son como quisiera que fueran
Son simplemente como son
Y seré el guardián de mi hermano
No el que lo juzga
No lo despreciaré por su debilidad
No lo consideraré por su fuerza
No le quitaré su libertad
Lo ayudaré a aprender a pararse
Y seré ~ seré el guardián de mi hermano
Ahora este techo tiene algunas tejas faltantes
Pero al menos tenemos un techo
Y dicen que ella es un ángel caído
Me pregunto si recuerda cuándo voló por última vez
No tiene sentido señalar con el dedo
A menos que estés señalando hacia la verdad
Y seré el guardián de mi hermano
No el que lo juzga
No lo despreciaré por su debilidad
No lo consideraré por su fuerza
No le quitaré su libertad
Lo ayudaré a aprender a pararse
Y seré ~ seré el guardián de mi hermano
Seré el guardián de mi hermano
No el que lo juzga
No lo despreciaré por su debilidad
No lo consideraré por su fuerza
No le quitaré su libertad
Lo ayudaré a aprender a pararse
Y seré ~ seré el guardián de mi hermano
