My younger brother hung himself in prison in 2001, he had been hounded for many years by the police here, though he was not always innocent, the charge they had him in prison for was attempted murder when every witness statement said it was clearly self defense. He defended his girlfriend of the time when another man threw her into a fence. At the time of his death, he continually stated that he wanted to get rid of the friends who always seemed to backstab him and who always tried to pull him into criminal endeavors....so he wanted to be a better man. I only heard this song for the first time when I was flying from my Army Training to attend his funeral. Seemed to fit....
Lyrics Send someone to love me I need to rest in arms Keep me safe from harm In pouring rain
Give me endless summer Lord I fear the cold Feel I'm getting old Before my time
As my soul heals the shame I will grow through this pain Lord I'm doing all I can To be a better man
Go easy on my conscience 'Cause it's not my fault I know I've been taught To take the blame
Rest assured my angels Will catch my tears Walk me out of here I'm in pain
As my soul heals the shame I will grow through this pain Lord I'm doing all I can To be a better man
Once you've found that lover You're homeward bound Love is all around Love is all around
I know some have fallen On stony ground But Love is all around
Send someone to love me I need to rest in arms Keep me safe from harm In pouring rain
Give me endless summer Lord I fear the cold Feel I'm getting old Before my time
As my soul heals the shame I will grow through this pain Lord I'm doin' all I can To be a better man
