You don't have to tell me anything, brother

You don't have to tell me anything, brother
I know.


You've moved on from the corporeal
and into the realm of the truth
I want too call you on the telephone but its no use
If I want to talk to you now, I'll have to meditate and I'll have to pray too
You don't have to tell me anything, brother
I know.

We hugged in the kitchen
on the day you broke the news
It has been eight months, but it seems like only a month or two
We planted potatoes and now I'm going to eat them for you with our crew
You don't have to tell me anything, brother
I know.

You are a superhero
who else could die with a with their eyes open,
in the favorite room, looking at the stars
and still find the strength to hang around until everyone went to sleep
so that you could crack one last handsome charming smile
You don't have to tell me anything, brother
I know.

Remember you children,
and your childrens' children too
we're passing the torch to Furhtur the work that you do
triumphing for the underdog, and those beneath the underdog too
You don't have to tell me anything, brother
I know.
