Sister
Marc-E-Bassy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you ever feel it
When people get unkind
You can hear it in their voices
They get poison on their minds

Though ignorance
Should never be excused
I

To pick up their attitudes

I
But there
That will make me take a stand

If my sister
I will always help her out
If my sister
I will turn the world around
I will fight for her right
No matter where the trouble seems to lie
If my sister
If my sister
So am I

All across the land
Young people are walking blind
But if the heat comes down
I

For I am there for you
Like you are there for me
Nothing feels as good
As a sister

I
What my sister means to me

If my sister
I will always help her out
If my sister
I will turn the world around
I will fight for her rights
No matter where the problem seems to lie
If my sister
If my sister
So am I

I
Just reach out your hands
And I

I
And what my sister means to me

If my sister
I will always help her out
If my sister
I
I will fight for her rights
No matter where the problem seems to lie
If my sister

Sister
I
Sister
My sister, my sister
You
So am I, so am I

I will be there
If you
Reach out your hands
Call on me sister
I will be there
If you
Reach out your hands
Call on me sister

I will be there
If you
