Helping Hand

My brother isn’t as strong as I am
On this journey he will stumble and fall
While those around him keep on standing tall
And he keeps struggling on as best he can
But when he needs it, I’ll help my brother
I’ll reach out and give him a helping hand
And back on his own feet I’ll help him stand
Especially when there is no other
The weight I carry is not my concern
The fact that he’s weak isn’t a problem
Nor that he’s different from my fellow men
I just won’t sit around whilst he burns

And the reason why I act to his plea?
The fact I’m a member of humanity
