Your Arm Around My Shoulder
I rest peaceful, knowing you are there, my brother.
I will never need to feel alone,
with your arm, always around my shoulder.
Our boyhood antics, I will always treasure.
Should the day come, I feel the need to roam,
I rest peaceful, knowing you are there, my brother.
Standing together, life's bumps we will weather.
A better friend, I will have never known,
with your arm, always around my shoulder.
We are bound to get into trouble together,
as we pass each of life's milestones.
I rest peaceful, knowing you are there my brother.
Should I chance to stumble and falter,
I will look upon you as my cornerstone.
With your arm, always around my shoulder.
With all we'll share through the adventures
and the paths we will take when we're grown.
I rest peaceful, knowing you are there, my brother,
with your arm, always around my shoulder.
