Brother Up In Heaven

It's hard for me to believe that it has been four years since my friend Dale Roy Mansell went to be with the Lord. His untimely passing was about the most difficult thing I have ever had to face. I've been working on this track for well over three years, a cover of a song from Alan Parson's CD "On Air". So in memory of my good friend Dale, please enjoy "Brother Up In Heaven".



here is a direct link to mp3 in case player won't play for you

A boy flies for freedom
But dies for the peace
In the clouds, he waits for an answer
But there's no release

It's strange here without you
And it's so hard to see
So brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me

Oh brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me

I still see his shadow
His laugh lingers on
When i dream, we're all back together
When i wake, he's gone
It's strange here without you
This was not meant to be
So brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me

And though we try to change the world
A flower when it's cut will surely die
So why do men with so much hate
Destroy what they cannot create
While we all stand by

We'll look back in anger
But you helped us to see
So brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me

Oh brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me
