You were there before me
And what a pair we eventually would be
My older blood
You were made in God's hand
And I've learnt so much
Could you even understand?

That you were my guiding light
In our early days
You'd help me to sleep at night
When I was afraid
Then you'd be there by my side
And I never say enough
That I love you

When we'd fight it would be
Over right before I could say sorry
And though you're far from where home used to be
I will always go where you are if you need

Because you were my guiding light
When I tried to sing
You'd teach me to harmonize
And with everything you'd
Be there to fight my fight
And I never say enough
That I love you

You were there before me
And I'm so thankful you gave your love to me
