Sister
lyrics and music by John Lester

She’s not a lover, not the mother that this world would have me need
She’s not a friend or the woman sent to one day marry me
And yet she’s cared to share with me all my joys and all my fears
She’s at my side, standing by and she will be all my years

Sister I live this life with you
Just like heaven meant for me to do

With me at my infancy we shared a common world
Together while we faced the trials of a young boy and little girl
When I didn’t understand the brand new man that I would turn into
Just across the hall, I’d often call on the sage in my siblings room

Sister I live this life with you
Just like heaven meant for me to do

A healer, a teacher, an old soul stands next to me
A beauty, a bright light, a true love is what I see
A friend from forever, a partner at every turn
Now all I can offer, I offer her in return

For sister I live this life with you
Just like heaven meant for me to do

The prophets say it’s no mistake we pick the lives we do
Our parents, friends, and family all teach the lessons our souls choose
For all the joys and trials in life I picked a sibling on this earth
She’s helped set free the voice in me so now I sing my song for her

For sister I live this life with you
Just like heaven meant for me to do
