Jordan Feliz covers Needtobreathe's 'Brother,' a song about brotherhood, support, and being there for one another through hard times. The lyrics use imagery of wilderness, desert, and night winds to describe struggles, but the repeated promise to be a shelter, fortress, and light emphasizes loyalty and companionship. The bridge mentions weakness being made stronger through love, reflecting a Christian perspective on community and reliance on others. The song encourages listeners to lean on each other and offer help, echoing biblical themes of bearing one another's burdens.

Ramblers in the wilderness
We can't find what we need
Get a little restless from the searching
Get a little worn down in between
Like a bull chasing the matador
Is the man left to his own schemes
Everybody needs someone beside 'em
Shining like a lighthouse from the sea
Brother let me be your shelter
I'll never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you're low
Brother let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home
Face down in the desert
Now there's a cage locked around my heart
I found a way to drop the keys where my failures were
Now my hands can't reach that far
I ain't made for a robbery
I could never take the world alone
I know that in my weakness I am stronger
It's your love that brings me home
Brother let me be your shelter
I'll never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you're low
Brother let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home
And when you call and need me near
Sayin' where'd you go? Brother I'm right here
And on those days when the sky begins to fall
You're the blood of my blood. We can get through it all
Brother let me be your shelter
Never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you're feeling low
Brother let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home
Brother let me be your shelter
I'll never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you're low
Brother let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home
