Stop weeping for your loss
It’s over now
He’s finally gone for good
I hope he’s better off, yeah

Stop praying for forgiveness
In Heaven he can’t
Hit the bottle or his wife
It’s gotta be for the best 

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, no 

His life wasn’t in your hands
There’s things here that are
Far beyond your control
Death’s is life’s demand
Don’t worry you’re not to blame
Don’t worry it’s no one’s fault 

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, no 

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

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 

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, no

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, no
