Sister, i need wine
For color in my skin
And darkness for my eyes
But i can see the light burn through
Still it is the night brings me to you
Sister, use your gift
The backed up river spreads
On ground for fighting words
And i am hating the ignorance in my body
And i can't feed on the heaviness
Sister, i need you
And we will dance for gold
And straddle the hour of fear
And learn the real story
Drink the truth
Shed not one tear
