I Am Not My Brother's Keeper
I am not my brother's keeper
or my sister's either...
they've got their own lives to live.
But if they need my help
I'll always be there for them...
they're always welcome to all that I can give.
Of course I could make conditions...
set up harsh restrictions
and make them pay right through the nose.
But this isn't where I come from...
dogs in mangers don't have much fun...
life's river is only happy when it flows.
So I'm not my brother's keeper
or my sister's either...
they've got their own lives to live.
But if they need my help
I'll always be there for them...
they're always welcome to all that I can give.
