love spreads her arms
waits there for the nails
i forgive you boy
i will prevail
too much to take
some cross to bear
i'm hiding in the trees with a picnic
she's over there
yeah
yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah
she didn't scream
she didn't make a sound
i forgive you boy
but don't leave town
cold black skin
naked in the rain
hammer flash in the lightning
they're hurting her again
let me put you in the picture
let me show you what i mean
the messiah is my sister
ain't no king man she's my queen
i have a dream
i've seen the light
don't put it out
say she's alright
yeah she's my sister
she didn't scream
she didn't make a sound
i forgive you boy
but don't leave town
cold black skin
naked in the rain
hammer flash in the lightning
they're hurting her again
oh oh
i have a dream
i've seen the light
don't put it out
says she's alright
yeah she's my sister!
