Lyrics

Though I never met you and we spoke not a word
 I'll never forget you through stories that I've heard
 For you, unknown brother, my baby's mother's pained
 'Cause your soul is in heaven, but your memory remains
 Unknown, unknown brother
 I'll meet you someday
 Unknown, unknown brother
 We'll walk through fields where children play
 Your eyes shined bright when you were a kid
 Your sisters loved you and all that you did
 Big brother, big brother, don't worry a bit
 Your flame has not faded since the day it was lit
 Your life was joy
 Your mama's only boy
 And when the skies are blue
 Big brother, they're blue for you
 ♪
 We'll smile like pictures of you as a boy
 Before you retired to heavenly joy
 Unknown, unknown brother
 I'll meet you someday
 Unknown, unknown brother
 We will walk through fields where children play
 
 Though I never met you and we spoke not a word
 I'll never forget you through stories that I've heard

 Unknown, unknown brother
 I'll meet you someday
 Unknown, unknown brother
 We'll walk through fields where children play
 Your eyes shined bright when you were a kid
 Your sisters loved you and all that you did
 Big brother, big brother, don't worry a bit
 Your flame has not faded since the day it was lit

 Your mama's only boy

 Big brother, they're blue for you
