Sister


Dark room

Eyes closed

Tears flowing down our faces

Holding hands so tight

Waiting for tomorrow 

Sister lets hide

Let's lay low 

Hold my hand tight 

Tight 

Don’t let go

Sister lets cry

Cry 

Hold my hand tight 

Tight 

Don’t let go 

Dry those tears 

Don’t cry anymore

Lets run

Run,run,run away

From our past 

Sister lets run

Run

Hold my hand 

Don’t let go

Never let go

Sister lets laugh

Laugh

For the first time

You can let go 

Just let go 

Sister lets live 

Live 

For the first time

Just live carefree

Sister lets just be kids

And nothing more 

Sister don’t cry 

Cry 

You can let go

You’re safe

You’re not alone 

You don’t have to worry anymore
