Sister Sister

When we were young you said
"I will always be there
If you ever need there to be
Someone to sit and dry your tears"
And now that we are older
I want to be the one who's there
I want to be the one who cares and can say
"You don't have to hide those fears away"

I wish that you could see yourself the way that I see you
It's a wonder how you give your all in everything you do
When the rain is gone that sun'll shine free
So I say Sister Sister, it's brighter where you'll be

I know right now it feels like
You're barely getting through the day
It's impossible to find your way but you'll see
This too becomes a memory
You are so much wiser
That you give yourself credit for
That's why I want to let you know, you amaze me
And I wouldn't trade you for anything

I wish that you could see yourself the way that I see you
It's a wonder how you give your all in everything you do
What the future holds is good, you'll see
So I say Sister Sister, it's brighter where you'll be

These lives, they're going by so fast
All too soon what's coming lies in our past
Every day we ask is it this path or another?
But through all of it, I'm so glad we have each other

There is a time I know
When everything we long to be
And those lives that we long to see will be here
To see, to know, to feel
And when we're there I'll say
"I will always be there
If you ever need there to be
Someone to share your joy and cheer"

The hardest thing in life is when we bury what is true
And the only one who knows what longings lie within is you
There's a place where you'll have all you need
So I say sister, sister, it's brighter where you'll be

I wish that you could see yourself the way that I've seen you
It's a wonder how you give your all in all the things you do
There's a place for you, just wait and see
So I say Sister Sister, Sister Sister, Sister Sister, it's brighter where you'll be
