Brightly - Sister lyrics

You are black and blue, cut and bruised But just beneath your skin and teeth You are made of stars, not these battle scars In pre-dawn light stand and fight I see it now, your furrowed brow Oh, the sweat it breaks, do not hesitate Sister I am sure when you hit that floor You are going to set their hearts on fire Sister I am sure they'll take more and more But never stop you, never break you down When they cry victory, stand with me Just beneath our skin and teeth We are made of stars, we are made of stars And as the morning breaks I swear I'll hold on I won't let you drown And on each broken bone I swear I'll rage until my lungs give out And as the ground we stand on shifts and changes I will pull you out Against the rising tide we will find hope we will find solid ground Like a bird you'll soar Away from all that misery You will be home at last and free
