Sister i don't know what to say
You told me it's so difficult
And you're afraid
I said you know you have to be brave
She said i know i'm brave
Don't matter what they say
I hope to see another day
But you know what they say
Sister might not be long for the world
I remember her as a little girl
Life weren't always easy but she had a big heart
I don't know what to say i just feel like crying
Sister you know what the old man said
Life is like a river
Sometimes narrow sometimes wide
Sometimes you can see heaven on the other side
Sister i wish i were a better brother
Either way you did all right
You got beautiful kids and people who love you
And the lord is by your side
