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
