Oh Sister
Storm the Sky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were thrown into a mother's role
There was no way you had a choice
But your lessons were always clear
I still remember your voice
Guidance was taken to heart
From birth you were there from the start
And because of you we've become so strong
Because of you we've become so strong
We've become so strong
Oh sister of mine
You've guided your brothers so far
We've become men you've modeled
Are you proud of us? Are you proud of us?
Will
I never thought you'd be the one that was lost (Oh sister, oh sister)
You were always strong, you were always strong
You gave me everything, you showed me the way out (Oh sister, oh sister)
And now you'll hear these words screaming out from the crowd
Daniel
Without you, I'd be so lost
There was no way you had a choice
Still your lessons they are so clear
I feel lost when I can't hear your voice (Your voice)
Still your lessons, they are so clear
Living my dream thanks to you
At the start I was doing this for you
But I'm strong enough now to do this for myself
Living my dream thanks to you
At the start I was doing this for you
But I'm strong enough now to do this for myself
Oh sister of mine
You've guided your brothers so far
We've become men you've modeled
Are you proud of us? Are you proud of us?
Will
I never thought you'd be the one that was lost (Oh sister, oh sister)
You were always strong, you were always strong
You gave me everything, you showed me the way out (Oh sister, oh sister)
And now you'll hear these words screaming out from the crowd
Oh sister of mine (Oh sister of mine)
You've guided your brothers so far
(From birth you were there from the start)
We've become men you've modeled (Are you proud of us?)
Are you proud of us? (Are you proud of us?)
Jake
Oh sister of mine
You've guided your brothers from the start
We've become the men that you've modeled
Are you proud of us? (Are you proud of us?)
Will
I never thought you'd be the one that was lost (Oh sister, oh sister)
You were always strong, you were always strong
You gave me everything, you showed me the way out (Oh sister, oh sister)
And now you'll hear these words screaming out from the crowd
The song "Oh Sister" by Storm the Sky is a tribute to a sister who took on the role of a mother and guided her brothers with unwavering strength and clarity. The opening lines establish how the sister was put into a mother's role without a choice, but that her guidance was taken to heart by her siblings. The chorus repeats the question, "Are you proud of us?" and reflects on how far the brothers have come under her guidance. The lyrics convey a deep sense of gratitude towards the sister for everything she has done for her siblings.
The second verse appears to be addressed directly to the sister, with the lyrics "Without you, I'd be so lost" emphasizing how important she has been to the singer's life. The singer admits that he initially pursued his dreams for her, but has since become strong enough to pursue them for himself. The inclusion of the line "Still your lessons, they are so clear" indicates that the sister's guidance continues to be a guiding force in the singer's life.
The final chorus is a group effort featuring all three vocalists, and the song closes with the repeated refrain of "You were always strong," which reinforces the idea that the sister was a source of unshakeable strength for her brothers.
