Brother Up in Heaven Lyrics
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 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
But dies for the peace
In the clouds, he waits for an answer
But there's no release
And it's so hard to see
So brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me
Please wait up for me
His laugh lingers on
When I dream, we're all back together
When I wake, he's gone
This was not meant to be
So brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me
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
But you helped us to see
So brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me
Please wait up for me

Since this comes from a concept album about flight, was this about a bi-plane pilot in what was called the war that will end all wars? Of course written from the point of view of his surviving brother.
