10 Best Funeral Songs and Hymns For Brother

When you're down and troubled
And you need some love and care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes I will
You've got a friend

If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud now
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes I will

Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold?
They'll hurt you, yes, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes I will
You've got a friend
You've got a friend

When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all
I'm on your side when times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out, when you're on the street
When evening falls so hard, I will comfort you
I'll take your part when darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on silver girl, sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Oh, if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

Phew! There's something funny round here
What is it?
Oh! It's you
Come here and sit down
You're gonna have the truth told about you and put on record
'Ere please don't sit too close to me, I'm just having my breakfast
Thank you
Who put salt in the sugar bowl?
Who put fireworks in the coal?
Who put a real live toad in the hole?
My brother
Who put jam in mother's shoe?
Who made real caterpillars stew?
Who locked grandad in the loo?
My brother
My brother said it wasn't he
Who put shampoo in grandma's tea?
My brother said that it was me
My brother's rotten
Who squeezed toothpaste round the hall?
Who put soot in the baby's butts?
Who drew things on the garden wall?
My brother
You ought to see what he drew
Ah, what a surprise
Nobody knew what it was really
But everybody had a jolly good idea
And he wrote slogans
"Down with young mothers" that was one
'Cause he don't think our mum knows how to bring us up right
I don't think so either
You know every night when we're wide awake, she makes us go to bed
And in the morning when we're fast asleep, she makes us get up
Whose pet mouse made auntie shriek?
Who ate glue and couldn't speak?
What clever dick was sick for a week?
My brother
Who keeps maggots in a tin?
Plays the twist on his violin
Who's been gettin' at the gin?
My brother
He looks just like a chimney sweep
But dirt they say is just skin deep
I know he's good when he's asleep!
But you don't know what he's dreamin' about (do ya)
Who wouldn't mind if I ride his bike?
Who lets me shot his gun if I like?
Who says I'm best at football, ludo, snakes and ladders?
Hide-and-seek, chasin' each other up and down the garden
Pinchin' little girls up the high street
Well, he's gotta say I'm best
'Cause I'm bigger than he is and if he don't say I'm best at everything, I'll bash him, haha
My lovely, lovely brother
Come on, come on mate, let's get out of here
Before you fall down the hole in the middle
Come on give us your hand' we're gonna wal—
'Ere what you had in your hand
'Ave ya
Woo!

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always some reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh, beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty
Oh, and weightless, and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference
Escaping one last time
It's easier to believe in this sweet madness
Oh, this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show

You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

You just call on me, sister, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on

If there is a load
You have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me

Call me if you need a friend
Call me, call me, ooh call me now
Call me if you need a friend
Call me, call me, call me
Call me if you need a friend
Call me, call me, ooh call me now
Call me if you need a friend
Call me, call me, call me

One day shy of eight years old
When grandma passed away
I was a broken-hearted little boy
Blowing out that birthday cake
How I cried when the sky let go
With a cold lonesome rain
My mom smiled, said "Don't be sad child
Grandma's watching you today"

'Cause there's holes in the floor of Heaven
And her tears are pouring down
That's how you know she's watching
Wishing she could be here now
And sometimes if you're lonely
Just remember she can see
There's holes in the floor of Heaven
And she's watching over you and me

Seasons come and seasons go
Nothing stays the same
I grew up, fell in love
Met a girl who took my name
Year by year we made a life
In this sleepy little town
I thought we'd grow old together
Lord, I sure do miss her now

'Cause there's holes in the floor of Heaven
And her tears are pouring down
That's how you know she's watching
Wishing she could be here now
And sometimes when I'm lonely
I remember she can see
There's holes in the floor of Heaven
And she's watching over you and me

Well, my little girl is twenty-three
I walk her down the aisle
It's a shame her mom can't be here now
To see her lovely smile
They throw the rice, I catch her eye
As the rain starts coming down
She takes my hand, says "Daddy don't be sad
'Cause I know Mama's watching now"

And there's holes in the floor of Heaven
And her tears are pouring down
That's how you know she's watching
Wishing she could be here now
And sometimes when I'm lonely
I remember she can see
Yes, there's holes in the floor of Heaven
And she's watching over you and me
Watching over you and me
Watching over you and me

Every generation blames the one before
And all of their frustrations come beating on your door
I know that I'm a prisoner to all my Father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage to all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Oh, crumpled bits of paper filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations, I'm afraid that's all we've got
You say you just don't see it, he says it's perfect sense
You just can't get agreement in this present tense
We all talk a different language, talking in defense

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

So we open up a quarrel between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future, it's the bitterness that lasts
So don't yield to the fortunes you sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective on a different day
And if you don't give up and don't give in, you may just be okay

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye
I wasn't there that morning when my Father passed away
I didn't get to tell him all the things I had to say

I think I caught his spirit, later that same year
I'm sure I heard his echo in my baby's newborn tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You were content to let me shine
That's your way
You always walked a step behind

So I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength
A beautiful face without a name
For so long
A beautiful smile to hide the pain

Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings

It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I've got it all here in my heart
I want you to know I know the truth
Of course, I know it
I would be nothing without you

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be
I could fly higher than an eagle
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings
Oh, the wind beneath my wings

I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate?
And do they know the places where we go
When we're gray and old?
'Cause I've been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

And through it all, she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
