He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother

Our Family trees are not the same, we both have a different mother  and yet I'd proudly tell the world that this man is my Brother.  It's like we've lived our lives together, though we meet for the first time as this powerful sense of Brotherhood makes everything seem fine.  Spectators stand and look with awe as we do our secret shake, never realizing that this clasping of hands does not a Brother make.

We are Brothers in a deeper sense than they can comprehend, for when our bond has just begun, theirs are about to end.  When we were searching for the light, as all Sphinxmen must do, they stood aside and laughed out loud, "I wouldn't do that! Would You?”  and yet when we had crossed those sands and the light we could finally see, They stood aside and whispered softly,  "Oh how I wish it were me!"  I know the decision I made was wise, of this I'm sure and have no doubt Each day in my life will have blue skies,  for I'm an Alpha from here on out.  And never again will I be lonely for I have Brothers everywhere, In cities of population two, I even have a Brother there.

There is nothing in this whole wide world that we wouldn't do for one another I'm sure I'd even give my life to save that of my Brother.  But there are still those in darkness who cannot understand why I would share the burden which belongs to another man.  When asked, "Why weigh yourself down with the load of another?"  I simply smile at them and say, “He ain't heavy...he's my Brother!"
