He was my brother...
Five years older than I

he was my brother
23 years old the day he died

freedom rider
they cursed my brother to his face
go home outsider
this towns going to be your burying place

he was singing on his knees
an angry mob trailed him home
they shot my brother dead
because he hated what was wrong

he was my brother
tears can't bring him back to me
he - he was my brother
and he died so his brothers could be free

I go to a local karaoke bar to sing every Tuesday night, and this is one of my most popular numbers, so I'm practicing up a little.

I love the song "he was my brother"...partly because I was too young to do anything when the events occurred, and because I so want to do something...and partly because I feel it says so much and that attempts to coopt those sentiments now for what seems to me to be shallow and partisan political agendas is so wrong.

I think it is a powerful song in it's simplicity. I did not realize it, but it is dedicated to Andrew Goodman, and the two other men James Chaney and Michael Schwerner who were murderd in an attempt to spread freedom: Andrew Goodman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These are people who died for what they believed, and who died so that the every American citizen could enjoy the freedom guarenteed under our constitution.

That is incredibly powerful.
