Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We've all gotta' learn sometimes.
Come on sister don't you run,
We all wanna' fly too near to the sun.
Beauty comes and goes,
It's the heart that grows.
I'm gonna' be around. Sister.
Come on mother where you gone?
You've been away for far too long.
Come on mother i can try,
For i was born, by your side.
Beauty comes and goes
It's the heart that grows
You've got to know,
I'm gonna' be around. Sister.
Though i roam far from home
You're on my mind all of the time.
Sister.
