You remember, sister
What you whispered to me then
What you promised to me then
How you wiped off my tear
How you saw my soul
When the sun was gone
To a different, different place
You remember, sister
What was lost in me then
Something was born in me
The weight at my feet
The shivers in my hands
And the freedom in my eyes
That's always returning, burning, racing with me
Both of us are fighting to maintain life
To reconcile with the storms, to speak to God
And to open up our eyes - there are beautiful things to see
With skies, without skies
And we are still here
You know, sister
It doesn't hurt me anymore
It doesn't eat me up anymore
The silk string is curling
And entangling with an iron wire
Only the light outside is falling
And always forgives, rejoices, redeems me
Both of us are fighting to maintain life
To reconcile with the storms, to speak to God
And to open up our eyes - there are beautiful things to see
With skies, without skies
And we are still here
Both of us are fighting to maintain life
To reconcile with the storms, to speak to God
And to open up our eyes - there are beautiful things to see
With skies, without skies
And we are still here
We are still here
We are still here
You know, sister
