There for you to hold your hand
Wipe your tears, and understand
Above and beyond in relation to you
Now I need, but who?
Always being my brother’s keeper
Selfless, never looking deeper
Above and beyond in relation to you
Now I need, but who?
Lying silent still on hospital sheets
Devastated, staring at texts and tweets
Above and beyond in relation to you
Now I need, but who?
None emanating sympathy
None gives time for empathy
Holding my head like Jesus
Knowing goodness holds no guarantee for us
Above and beyond in relation to you
Now I need, but who?
Bronx Beyond Borders
