Song - My Friend My Brother My Lover

SONG: MY FRIEND, MY BROTHER, MY LOVER

Dedicated to my love, Scott A. Diiorio

They always said so clearly, the way I love is wrong

That it would be a sin, if I should sing my song

So for faith and for family, I would have to live

'Cause if I lived the truth inside, then God would not forgive

So I buried my feelings so deep down inside

My truth and my colors my fearful heart denied

But I shed bitter tears all alone in the night,

My soul just crying out in pain for you to hold me tight

My friend, my brother, my lover

For my heart there could be no other

I’ve waited so hopeless, lonely and blind

For you to come along my way and see into my mind

You’re the only one, husband of my soul

And yours is the power to make me whole

My burned-out heart with healing you’ll cover

My friend, my brother, my lover

So for family and Heaven I would live my life

I did my sacred duty and I took myself a wife

I tried with all inside me, a loving man to be

I hoped that living half-alive would be enough for me

We were given a child, a beautiful son

And for a time I dared believe that happiness I’d won

But a secret chamber in my heart was empty still

And in my silent suffering I pined against my will

My friend, my brother, my lover

For my heart there could be no other

I’ve waited so hopeless, lonely and blind

For you to come along my way and see into my mind

You’re the only one, husband of my soul

And yours is the power to make me whole

My burned-out heart with healing you’ll cover

My friend, my brother, my lover

Then the painful day dawned when I could take no more

I confessed my inner longings caring not what lay in store

All alone I was again, but free to follow love

I knew that Truth was deep inside and not somewhere above

Then dawned a bright new morning, when I beheld your face

I heard your voice so kindly banish pain without a trace

Your liquid eyes, your glowing smile, familiar to my soul

I sensed from you an energy with pow’r to make me whole

You’re my friend, my brother, my lover

For my heart there could never be another

I’ve found you at last, No longer to pine

I’ve known you for eternity and know that you are mine

You’re the only one, precious husband of my soul

And I feel your power is making me whole

My newborn heart with healing you cover

You're my friend, my brother, my lover

In your eyes I see God, both Father and Mother

My friend, my brother, my lover
