Sister Brother

Sister, oh why are you sad? Why have you cried?

Sister, though you've been treated bad, you've still got your pride

There's so much that you can give

And you can, it's not too late

You have just begun to live

And good things come to those who do not wait

Don't listen to the heartbreakers

Find comfort in your staff and rod

Blessed are the peacemakers

For they shall see God

Brother, you've been doing fine for some little things

Brother, it's not so much the crime, but the color of your skin

Don't let them harden your heart

They just want to see you fall

You can make a brand new start

Because you can rise above, above it all

Don't listen to the heartbreakers

Find comfort in your staff and rod

Blessed are the peacemakers

For they shall see God

Father, why do you drink your life all away?

Father, tell me what you think, there's so much you can say

There's so much that you can share

You've kept it in for far too long

I don't believe that you don't care

I've always believed that you are big and strong

Don't listen to the heartbreakers

Find comfort in your staff and rod

Blessed are the peacemakers

For they shall see God

Mother, you've seen so much strife and misery

Mother, the giver of life you will always be

And you are the one that makes things right

And all your work you do for free

And I know you have to fight

Just so you can feed your family

Don't listen to the heartbreakers

Find comfort in your staff and rod

Blessed are the peacemakers

For they shall see God

Don't listen to the heartbreakers

Find comfort in your staff and rod

Blessed are the peacemakers

For they shall see God

Don't listen to the heartbreakers

Find comfort in your staff and rod

Blessed are the peacemakers
