Stop weeping for your loss, it's over now   He's finally gone for good. I hope he's better off   Stop praying for forgiveness, in Heaven he can't   Hit the bottle or his wife, it's gotta be for the best       Chorus:   Oh please don't cry   I beg you not to weep   You are your brother's keeper   But your brother now, your brother won't keep       His life wasn't in your hands, there's things here that are   Far beyond your control, death's one of life's demands   Don't worry you're not to blame, don't worry it's no one's fault       Chorus:   Oh please don't cry   I beg you not to weep   You are your brother's keeper   But your brother now, your brother won't keep       Bridge:   What a waste, what a waste   A life filled up with empty rage   What a waste, what a waste   I hope your soul is cleansed when you reach that place       Chorus:   Oh please don't cry   I beg you not to weep   You are your brother's keeper   But your brother now, your brother won't keep
