Sister, beautiful sister
I can tell by the way you are glowing
I can tell by the look in your eye
That it was time
You were going
The air is lighter up here
Sister, I know you must breathe
I know
I know you must breathe
I've seen you grow up before me
I've seen you burn like the sun
I've seen your tears fall like children
And now I'm watching you run
The air is lighter up here
Sister, I know you must breathe
For now the water's all gone
Sister, I know you must leave
I've seen you grow up before me
I've seen you burn like the sun
I've seen your tears fall like children
And now I'm watching you run
