Backstory:

This is a Pro-Life song that covers the spectrum of life--the unborn, death penalty and war.

VERSE 1. I'm standing in a prison, staring at the death row
Where someone's gonna die at noon today.
A guard says, "Are you kin to any of his victims
And come to watch us take his life away?"
I said, "Am I my brother's keeper?  No; I'm just my brother's weeper, And taking any life will bring me down."
VERSE 2. I'm standing near a clinic, watching twosomes enter,
And as they leave, they will not meet my gaze.
A guard says, "What's your business here?  Have you come for someone dear,  to schedule inconvenience away?"
I said, "Am I my sister's keeper?  No; I'm just my sister's weeper.  And taking any life will bring me down."
REFRAIN And so I mourn;
Oh yes, I mourn.
Taking any life will bring me down.
VERSE 3. I'm standing in a war zone, the battle scene before me: 
Brother killing brother without care.
A sentry says, "Are you searching for A relative or someone more?  Well, you're in danger standing anywhere."
I said, "Am I my brother's keeper?  No; I'm just my brother's weeper, and taking all this life has brought me down."
REFRAIN  And so I mourn.
Oh yes, I mourn.
Taking any life will bring me down.
