Dean Brody - Brothers Lyrics
The house was like a tomb.
I was hiding in my room.
As my brother made his way on down the hall.
I didn't want to say goodbye.
And that he got the call.
I watched him from my window
Walking down the drive.
Then I ran down the stairway
Through the front door and I cried
You come back you hear?
And I let him see my tears
I said I'll give you my rookie of DiMaggio.
Clean your room, or wash your car.
I'll do anything so long as you don't go.
But he said, this is what brothers are for.
Well I have my heroes,
But the one I love the most
Taught me how to hunt and swing a bat.
And I wrote him every night,
I said I miss our pillow fights,
But lately I just wonder where you're at.
Sometimes freedom makes it hard to live.
When it takes things from you that you don't want to give.
I said you come back you hear?
I miss you being near.
Laugh and fish down in the maple grove
I'll do anything you want.
There must be someone I can call,
And just maybe they would let you come back home.
But he wrote, this is what brothers are for.
I may never have to face the anger of those guns,
Or lie cold and wounded in my blood,
Or know the sacrifice and what it must of cost
For him to love me that much.
Well, it had been two years,
And I held back my tears
When I saw him in that wheel chair on the shore.
And as I ran and held him tight,
That's when he looked me in the eye
And said I'm sorry that you have to push me home.
And I said hey, this is what brothers are for.

Dean Brody Brothers Comments
Even though I am a Cadet, my parents have a hard time sending me off to my Academy.
Though, of course, I still wondered for the longest time how they were going to react to me deploying into a Warzone after I enlist into the Army, but this song has helped me understand how my family is going to love and support me whilst trying to keep me from deploying, once I complete Basic Training and AIT, and get that call one day down the road.
Thank you for your service to all those who have served.
- Cadet 2LT Benjamin J.
I lost when he said "I'm sorry that you have to push me home."
I never cry at movies or songs but this makes me bawl my eyes out
This song is so Awesome ! I Lost my Big Brother not to war but too a drunk driver ! Its been 40 years & I still Miss him every Day ! To the families who Lost their Loved ones fighting for our freedom i thank you ! God Bless America !
Cory Christopher Wolfe USMC 2009 to 2013 Cody Jay Wolfe USMC 2011 to 2015....after our 💔 broken childhood "What it must've cost...For HIM to love ME that much" and vice versa Two Dayton Boys serving and mother worrying about getting two letters......but hey this is what are Brother's are for!
Can’t listen to this song without crying and remembering that I will always love my brother 😥
I am about to leave for Afghanistan and I told my brother as long as he Wright’s I have a reason to come home
Without question, I'd die for my brother's. They both deserve more than me.
😭😭😭😭
My sister played this for me when I went on my first deployment by my 3rd she wheelchaired me home. She said thank you for all you did now it's time to rest. Still hits me hard.... Love you sis.
Greg Erwin Thank you for your service
Lost my brother March 14,2017. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about him. I love you and miss you big brother I'll see you on the other side
I miss u brother 5/10/18
My brother died in Kwait. I was 11. In 22 now. He was my best fiend. I grew up without a dad. He was my father figure. I’ve never heard a song more relatable in my life. I can’t get myself to go to his grave. I just pray he forgives me for not.
I'm crying omg😭😭
Jesus, the bravest soldier ever. God bless our service men and women.
This song is really sad and every time I Sing this song I Cry
Before my older brother joined the Marines, he and I shared a bedroom. He always picked on me but I still looked up to him and my oldest brother. He was an infantryman and in security forces. When he was in Iraq, I joined the Army as an infantryman. At first he was upset but supported my decision. Two months after me and my older brother were both in the military, our oldest brother joined the Army. For a month we were all in the military together. As of now, I am the only one still serving. I heard this song when I left active duty and joined the National Guard and this song brought me to tears. Both my Marine brother and I did a tour to Iraq. I couldn't fathom being without my brothers.
I love this song. It always shakes me. I plan on enlisting in the Army. It’s gonna be hard for my baby cousin. She cries pretty much every time I have to leave. We are very close. I honestly can’t imagine her face when I tell her that I’m going to fight a war. But freedom ain’t free. And I love the line freedom makes it hard to live because it does. I’ve wanted to serve for a long time now and I still do I just hope I can come him from Afghanistan or wherever I get stationed and hug my baby cousin and the rest of my family.
hes the only thing that kept me sane and headed home safely
me and my little bro listen to this all the time kinda our story growin up here im 27 was in military and he grew up and i came home
Why tf did i cry i dont even have a brother
It made me cry..I love this song!
😥😥😥😥😥😥😭😭😭😭😭

I know this song is about a brother in the military but I'm a volunteer firefighter and my little brother had me listen to the song and I started to cry like now and I didn't know my little brother cared about me this much and every time I went on a call I knew that there was a chance that I wouldn't make it back to my brother
I love my big brother
This song makes me have to accept that I have emotions.
I love my big brother

I've never had a song that made me cry like that its a damn good one
It's been 7 years since I lost my dad's father/grandpa to a heart attack.
I salute all of the fallen, with a tear in my eye, the sounds of TAPS, and 21 blazing guns. I'm joining the USMC very soon, and this song has a purpose... thank you for your sacrafice, it goes noticed. OOHRAH!!
I don't have a brother only a friend. My friend is like a brother to me :)
I want to say thank you big brother i dont have a sister any more im done with her taking up for that piece of s***..it is ok i got my big brother i know he loves me and he will never turn his back on. ..love you brother
I wish i could see my big brother and give him a hug and tell him i love him and miss him
I need my big brother love my big brother
I miss my big brother i hope oct. Comes fast
I love my big brother I wish I knew why he was mad at me I feel like he's mad at me for some reason I wish I would have to go back home
I still feel like something's wrong and I don't understand why nobody won't tell me I just want to spend more time with my big brother
I don't understand what's going on
My dad is a marine and I think his brother was too
My brother, and I both served, and one of my two sisters married a veteran. He was Airforce, but he's a good man, and we won't hold it against him.
I can't wait to see my big brother and make sure he is OK I love my big brother
I don't have a great relationship with my dad's family but I do have my baby brother and I know when I leave for the army it's going to be hard on my mom and brother but everything I'm doing is for them I told my brother that there is nothing to fear in the dark and I will keep that promise I will fight for our beautiful country and all she stands for
My big brother taught me more than he will ever know if it was not for him I would not be here I don't see him much are get to talk to him much but he gives me a thumbs up and helps me get there the day I wish I could talk to him more and see him but I know he is there
I'm really worried about my big brother
I'm worried about my big brother miss him
I love my big brother
Miss my big brother
This hits me hard because my 3 younger siblings are begging me not to enlist in 2 months
I worry about my big brother and I miss him love you brother
I love you brother miss you brother hope to see my brother soon ..
this was me with my dad 8 years ago I was 4 and I didn't understand why he was leaving I was crying bc I felt like they where taking my dad from me and I thought I would never see him again. Thank you God for letting him come home safely.
Future U.S Marine and everyday my little brother tells me not to go into the miltary and everyday I tell him the same thing I'm going because that's what brothers are for
Man this song always gets to me!
One of the best songs I've heard in recent times.
I love this song makes me get tears cause I’m 25 years old and my brother is still my best friend and my hero and I fucking miss him like crazy I love you Christopher Ostavitz I am my brothers keeper
I love my big brother I miss him I wish I could see him more I feel like something is wrong I need to see my big brother
Teared up listen to this hopein my big bro stays safe
My little brother was talking about becoming a marine but i have 4 years before he was old enough
I never had a brother go serve, but I had a dad that served across Canada first for the royal Navy and the transport officer for 3 bases in Canada. I salute our Canadian forse and those who put there lives for our freedom...20!8/20!9
i love this song hit me hard mine was my sister and i had a cane when i came home from iraq but i would do anything for my sister she is the collage grad im just the soldier doing what i thought was right and still will carry that flag
I'm a girl about to join the Navy (hoping for Officers program- clinical psychology), and I have two baby brothers. One is 2, and the other is about to turn 5. Don't know what I'm gonna do when I have to go. Love this song.
I dont know where u are if ur alive or what i love n miss u mi brother nothings th same i cry when i think of u i wish u would come home i always remember u leaving i watched rite til u went outta sight u didnt say when u were coming home i dont know if ur a million miles away or in same country as me maybe down th road but i keep an eye out for u i hope u c this n maybe youll come back now been yrs i miss u bro.....
I heard this song in one of another video from I guess wild kratts
Awesome song! Seems like sooo long ago.
On another note: when this came out I heard it maybe 3 times on the radio. After that, they went back to playing the same catchy stuff (which I like, don't get me wrong), and it still ticks me off how they don't play more heartfelt songs! Not all the songs on country today need to be about parties or hooking up with a girl who's bowing up your phone.
Everytime I hear this song I tear up. I didn't grow up with brothers but this song willl hit damn near anyone in the feels
Makes grown men cry
No one knows how much brothers love their siblings and how they'd do anything to protect them how they'd give their lives for their siblings like brothers and sisters. Who agrees?
This deserves more love
Missing my big brother Yolly, lost him to a tragic atv accident....It hurts lots to hear this song but it is so beautiful and touching, crying everytime :'( Love you forever and always bro!! xxoo
I didn't have a brother in the military but my stomach is in my throat as the tears run down my face for all those that did have a brother or sister that is or was. I have a dear brother here at home and can't imagine the pain of him having to leave me. We played Cowboys and Indians as a child in these TN hills and to this day I love to be near him and see his smiling face. Thank God for our Brothers
Change the words brother to cousin and this is mine and my cousins' song. I love you Steven!! ❤❤
This song is so sad and strong!
