George from Esteesee by Ange Hardy
George was Coleridge’s older brother, and one who was often leaned upon. Undoubtedly, Coleridge was a friend who placed a heavy burden on those around him. Much of the sentiment of this song is based on letters between Coleridge and his friends and family.

Lyrics
Who am I my brother,
My earliest friend,
That you be a father to me?
For the prayers of your heart
To upon me descend
As the prayers of your first bended knee.
Oh the prayers of a young
and unquestioning heart,
Where hope calms the fiercest of seas.
Who am I my brother,
My earliest friend,
That you be a father to me?
Who am I my brother,
My earliest friend,
To ask of your patience, and plea
For a love that will conquer forgive and defend
When discordant my own mind should be?
Oh the prayers of a young
And unquestioning heart,
Where hope calms the fiercest of seas.
Who am I my brother,
My earliest friend,
That you be a father to me?
Who am I my brother,
My earliest friend,
That you be a father to me?
For the prayers of your heart
To upon me descend
As the prayers of your first bended knee.
For the prayers of a young
And unquestioning heart,
Where hope calms the fiercest of seas.
Who am I my brother,
My earliest friend,
That you be a father to me?
