O' Sister

Gregory Isaacs

Oh! Sister
What is wrong with your mind?
You used to be so strong and stable...
My sister,
what made you fall from grace?
I'm sorry that I was not there to catch you.

What have the demons done?
What have the demons done
with the luminous light once shined from your eyes?
What makes you feel so alone?!
Was it the whispering ghosts
that you feared the most?
But the blackness in your heart
cannot last forever!
I know it is tearing you apart,
but its a storm you can weather!

Oh! Sister,
Those lines etched in your hands,
they're hardened and rough like road map of sorrow!
And my sister,
There is a sadness on your face.
You are like a motherless child that's longing for confort.
Whats running through your veins?
That is causing all this pain
Does it has something to do with the pills they gave to you?
What is eating at your soul?
Is it the whispering ghosts that left you out in the cold?

But the blackness in your heart
will not last forever.
I know its tearing you apart
but its a storm you can weather

Oh sister, my sister!
