[Lyrics]
I found a dusty book inside the attic’s light today
A diary of a boy who chose to hide his heart away
Standing in the photo by the tall and willow tree
The boy you really were before you cared for me
A soul that was so full of fire and spirit flying free
Before you chose to stay and build a home for me
I’m so sorry for the precious time you had to give
For all the secret dreams you never got the chance to live
I’ll sing the songs you had to hide and bury deep inside
With all the love and all the honor and the sister’s pride
I see the boy behind the brother and behind the name
Before the world was quiet and before the shadows came
You were a bird with silver wings and a song that always sings
Who loved to see the mystery that every morning brings
But then you chose to build a nest and keep me warm and dry
Beneath the giant willow tree where all the secrets lie
I’m tracing every handwritten word and every single line
To find the piece of you that’s also living deep in mine
I’m so sorry for the precious time you had to give
For all the secret dreams you never got the chance to live
I’ll sing the songs you had to hide and bury deep inside
With all the love and all the honor and the sister’s pride
I see the boy behind the brother and behind the name
Before the world was quiet and before the shadows came
Now I know your real and secret name
My brother, my boy, my soul
Finally whole
