Philip's Song




You brought a love I never knew before
Brother, son, and somehow so much more
Remembering you inside that tent
Precious one who’d been abandoned
Your existence wasn’t random
Your life to me seemed heaven sent

Guess I really didn't know
All the pain that didn’t show
With no one here that could hide you
From the hurt born deep inside you
How I miss you here today
There was so much left to say
There will never be another
To replace my lovely brother


You had friends and you had lovers
I knew some, but there were others
You brought us light with just your smile
Wish I’d cherished every minute
Of my life when you were in it
The brightest stars just burn awhile

Guess we really didn't know
All the pain you couldn't show
None of us knew how to hide you
From the hurt born deep inside you
We all miss you here today
Hope you hear me when I say
There will never be another
To replace my lovely brother
