East Across the Mediterranean - Sister, Stand Tall Lyrics

The trees are standing tall
As the wind knocks down the leaves
Swaying behind me
I try not to get it wrong
As the sun stalks from above
He looks down to me
I stand blessed in the shade
As something waits beyond my gaze
The sun still shining
The trees will stand alone
It's no forest but it's home
As he's still blinding
I awake to something wrong
As the sun beats down upon her rigid shoulder
Now the fight has seen some days
It goes phase by violent phase
As she grows bolder
As the brother recounts her tale
He omits her suffering
It's never cold when I dream
I'm always being ripped at the seams
The whispers growing loud
Still warm when the sun meets a cloud
The trees are waiting here
Patient to abate my fear
Sister, stand tall, proud, and
Atop the forest I stand tall
My sure-footing stops the fall
The light is waning
The trees are resolute
The sun won't follow suit
It begins raining
Behind the clouds the coward hides
He's gone when the storm subsides
The darkness frightening
But it's no better when it's bright
Blessed in this darkest night
The sun still hiding
It's never cold when I dream
I'm always being ripped at the seams
The whispers growing loud
Still warm when the sun meets a cloud
The trees are waiting here
Patient to abate my fear
Sister, stand tall, proud, and...
The trees stand still
Will the sun run?
The trees stand still
And then he runs
The trees stand still
The sun is gone
The trees stand still
Will he return?
It's never cold when I dream
I'm always being ripped at the seams
The whispers growing loud
Still warm when the sun meets a cloud
The trees are waiting here
Patient to abate my fear
Sister, stand tall, proud, and sheer
It's never cold when I dream
I'm always being ripped at the seams
The whispers growing loud
Still warm when the sun meets a cloud
The trees are waiting here
Patient to abate my fear
Sister, stand tall, proud, and sheer
