Lyrics
Little Sister
How do we speak
What's on our minds
In a place where no one's listening
When I find the words
I hope I'm being heard
By someone out there in the distance
And that means you, Little Sister
If I can reach you, to hold you tight
A friend in deed, is a friend to cherish
It can be me, Cause I'm on your side!
How do I speak, to hallowed eyes
You hear my words and you're not listening
Try and whisper the truth
It rings out loud and clear
You look as though you're still surprised at me
For loving you, Little Sister
CHORUS
You're holding on and your heart's still broken
And you can't find your way home
There's no good reason, there's no good reason
For staying along, For staying alone
And that means you, Little Sister
If I can reach you and hold you tight
A friend in deed is a friend to cherish
It can be me, Cause I'm on your side!
