Sister

(album: Ticket To The World - 2013)

A woman walks down the road
Her steps are firm, she walks quite slow
Her legs are tired and her feet are cold
But she's got a train to catch
On her face she wears a smile
And there's nothing but love in her eyes
And when she gets off that train she walks with pride

All her life she sacrificed, kept those painful tears inside
Burdens too heavy for her to carry
You wouldn't believe how much she cried

My sister, you got so much to bear
Now there's love, now there's love in the air
You can spread your wings, learn how to fly
Now it's your turn to shine your light
My sister, you got so much to bear
Now there's love, joy and hope in the air
You can spread your wings, learn how to fly
Now it's your turn
Shine your light

Young Josephine slept on the street
Had breakfast from bins and walked bare feet
She had nothing but she had a dream
And a heart full of hope
Destiny grabbed her by the hand
Took her all the way to Paris, France
She couldn't speak a word but she knew how to dance

All her life she had to fight, kept those painful tears inside
Burdens too heavy for her to carry
You wouldn't believe how much she cried

My sister, you got so much to bear
Now there's love, now there's love in the air
You can spread your wings, learn how to fly
Now it's your turn to shine your light
My sister, you got so much to bear
Now there's love, joy and hope in the air
You can spread your wings, learn how to fly
Now it's your turn to shine your light

Shine your light

Spread your wings and learn to fly
