[Verse 1]

Brother, why'd you have to go?

You left us all so soon

Remember that song I wrote about your family years ago?

Well, they're waiting for you to come home

What do I do? What do I say?

And dad tells me to pray

So I've prayed and prayed, but the hurt won't go away

The pain gets worse, it never stops

And I've asked the Lord for us to swap

I beg and plead 'cause you have kids to feed

[Chorus]

Why is it always stormy weather?

And, brother, tell me if it all gets better

Why did you leave? Why did you die?

You finally made your brother cry

I know you're watching over us tonight

And I hope you're watching over us tonight

[Verse 2]

I'm sorry I missed your call

I wasn't there for you at all

And know I thought it through, maybe if I answered you

That you would still be here, all along

Now, no more calls, can't you see

I took for granted family?

And once they're gone, you'll never get that back

No more laughs, no more hugs

So hold on to the ones you love

Your soul is free, I love you, Anthony

[Chorus]

And why is it always stormy weather?

And, brother, tell me when does it get better?

Why did you leave? Why did you die?

You finally made your brother cry

I know you're watching over from above

So hold on to the ones you love
