"Brotherly Love"

Written By Tarvis Simms

My Brother has fallen and everyone knows his name
We don't have the same parents, but our families are still the same
He lived in the city of Philadelphia, I live in another,
it doesn't really matter because this man was my Brother
My Brother I call him, yet we'd never met face to face,
I have Brothers and Sisters all over the place
You see we are both fighters and our families are one,
around the world it's a brotherhood that's second to none
His family's my family, your family, or theirs,
we're part of one big family where everyone cares
I'll look after your kids, please look in on my wife,
should that day finally come I can no longer fight for my life
We dedicate our lives helping our fellow man,
living day after day, doing all that we can
Wherever we're needed whether nighttime or day,
to fight for the life of another we'll step in harm's way
My Brother has fallen after doing what he loved best,
and among the honored, he now stands with the rest
For one more round in the ring, here everyone stands
For my Brother has fallen, God into your hands

Rest In Peace Smokin' Joe Frazier
