[Verse 1]

Though I never met you and we spoke not a word

I'll never forget you through stories that I've heard

For you, unknown brother, my baby's mother's pained

'Cause your soul is in heaven, but your memory remains

[Chorus]

Unknown, unknown brother

I'll meet you someday

Unknown, unknown brother

We'll walk through fields where children play

[Verse 2]

Your eyes shined bright when you were a kid

Your sisters loved you and all that you did

Big brother, big brother, don't worry a bit

Your flame has not faded since the day it was lit

[Bridge]

Your life was joy

Your mama's only boy

And when the skies are blue

Big brother, they're blue for you

[Verse 3]

We'll smile like pictures of you as a boy

Before you retired to heavenly joy

[Chorus]

Unknown, unknown brother

I'll meet you someday

Unknown, unknown brother

We will walk through fields where children play
