Sister Sister
On an island
Not alone
Who is with me
In this land unknown?
Sister Sister
Is it you?
My only solace
When I am blue
I need you here
To keep me warm
To make me smile
To ride out this storm
I need your hugs
I need your laughter
I’m getting closer
My heart beats faster
Sister Sister
My best friend
If you are with me
My fears will end
I need your voice
It keeps me sane
It makes me calm
It eases the pain
I need your bravery
It gives me hope
It keeps me grounded
It helps me cope
Sister Sister
I can’t live without
I need you here with me
I start to shout
Can you hear me?
Are you there?
If that's not you
Then…(I gasp for air)
It was just a tree
My mind playing tricks
I am beginning to unglue
Only your presence can fix
Sister Sister
I am all alone
I know I won’t make it
All on my own
Screaming and crying
I’m calling your name
“Where the fuck are you?”
I begin to exclaim
Off in the distance
I see a bright light
If God’s looking for me
I’ll go with no fight
Sister Sister
The light is a boat!
You are calling my name
There’s a lump in my throat
Always my rescue
From outside and in
You saved me my sister
You saved me again
