Oh, sister, when i come to lie in your arms
You should not treat me like a stranger
Our father would not like the way that you act
An' you must realize the danger.

Oh, sister, am i not a brother to you
And one deserving of affection?
An' is our purpose not the same on this earth?
To love an' follow his direction.

We grew up together from the cradle to the grave
We died an' we're reborn an' then mysteriouly saved.

Oh, sister, when i come to knock on your door
Don't turn away, you'll create sorrow
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore
You may not see me tomorrow.
