It Wasn't a Brick

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Backyard sun and a summer game, A sister and brother, never the same. You swung that croquet stick one day, Cracked my head, but I still say — It wasn't a brick, so I let it slide, 'Cause you're my brother, and I'm on your side. [Chorus] Oh Tommy, when you laugh, my heart sings too, Tommy, I make this promise to you — I'm gonna make your dreams come true, Oh oh oh, this is how I love you. [Verse 2] Went to Mom and Dad's grave the other day, The wind was blowing, the sky was gray. Played this song beneath the trees, Asked God to send them through the breeze. The wind went silent so they could hear, I stood tall with a lion's heart, drew them near. [Bridge] Nothing seems to be alright, Still puzzled why through all the fights — But I've got you, and that is that, You're worth more than gold, and I know that. [Verse 3] I played this song for my son Mike, Who lost his life going the second mile. A big guy with a laugh so wide, Hearts of gold, they'd never hide. I want to shout it loud and proud, Like I'm proud of you above the crowd — 'Cause no one's like my baby brother, A lion's heart, there is no other. [Chorus] Oh Tommy, when you laugh, my heart sings too, Tommy, I make this promise to you — No big wheel who makes no deal, You're the truest heart, the one that's real. [Violin Interlude] [Outro] Thank God for family — a sister and a brother, (strong violin) My baby brother, a wrestling star like no other, Oh oh oh oh oh — Here's to you, lion-hearted Tombstone Tommy, Raises cane like no other. Thank God for a sister and a brother, I love your laugh, I love your smile like no other.
