Verse:
A A G# G F#m F#m G G#
Though I never met you, and we spoke not a word
I'll never forget you through stories that I heard
For you, unknown brother my baby's mother's pain
Your soul is in heaven but your memory remains

Unknown, unknown brother
I'll meet you some day
Unknown, uknown brother
We'll walk through fields where children play
Verse:
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
