We were both so different
To be so much the same
You knew just what you wanted
One step ahead of the game
You were always my hero
Winning fortune and fame
I tried to follow your footsteps
And live up to your name

Am I my brother's keeper?
Does the love run deeper?
Than ego or pride
Am I my brother's keeper?
Maybe I've failed you
But God knows I've tried

Separate dreams and ambitions
All the hopes and the fears
Finally let me realize
After so many years
All the love and respect for you
That I kept in my heart
Instead of bringing us closer
Only held us apart

Am I my brother's keeper?
Does the love run deeper?
Than ego or pride
Am I my brother's keeper?
Maybe I've failed you
But God knows I've tried
When the glamour and the glory
Aren't all you thought they would be
It's hard to believe the story
When it's all fantasy
I thought nothing could hurt you
You had to make it alone
I would never desert you
To face it all on your own

Am I my brother's keeper?
Does the love run deeper?
Than ego or pride
Am I my brother's keeper?
Can you forgive me?
You know how I've tried

Am I my brother's keeper?
Does the love run deeper?
Than ego or pride
Am I my brother's keeper?
I'll never fail you
I'm here by your side
