A Sister's Prayer
copyright 2008

Baby Brother's leavin, he's not a baby any more
That don't make it any easier to see him walking out that door
Still want to protect him from the big wide world
Tell him all the things I know about what's out there
Baby Brother's leaving for those big city lights
I always kinda thought it might be me
But it's not the lights he's going for, it's all for love and that means more
So I watch him walking out that door with a sigh, and a prayer

CHORUS
I hope it doesn't wear you down,
I hope it doesn't rust you through
I hope it doesn't make you hard
like I've seen cities do
I hope you keep your open heart,
I hope she's always good to you
I hope you find your dreams
and I hope you don't forget what's you
I hope you're happy most of all
and I hope sometimes you'll write or call
So I can know how my Baby Brother's doing.

Baby Brother's leavin, guess I knew this day could come
I just never knew it'd come this soon
Don't think I ever told you, just how much I love you
That if you wanted and I could, I'd bring you the moon
Baby Brother's leaving for those big city streets
Where not too many people know your name
But the only name that means a thing is the one that makes your heart sing
So though it's pulling my heartstring, I just whisper this prayer.

CHORUS

I know you're not a baby, that in fact you are a man
And I'm sorry for not always being the best sister I can
But I want you to know that I'm always proud
Even if I don't say it out loud

CHORUS X2

'Cause I care how my Baby Brother's doing

Baby Brother's leaving he's not a baby anymore
Baby Brother's leaving he's not a baby anymore
Baby Brother's leaving he's not a baby anymore
