Counting Sheep



Thinking back,four boys on the right track
The perfect situation so why didnt it last
All for one, thats the way it always was
Not a day went by I wasnt proud to call you my cuz
Predictable like lightning following thunder
Id be down to hang with you boys every summer
Til one day, GODs hands changed all that
I reached out to save you all but only one could reach back
All for one, thats the way it always was
Not a day went by I wasnt proud to call you my cuz
Maybe his plan was to bring us more together
Knowing now it would be you and I forever
Though im the older one, its you I look up to
Still standing up after all you went through
I want you to know, you still have another
Cuz not a day goes by im not proud to call you my "brother"
