Oh, the burden that she carries walking to the store
With those blessings in her pocket
Worth their weight in gold
All the beggars on the corner watch her as she comes
They know that they’re the chosen few who get her love
Oh, I wish that I was one

Sometimes it’s so confusing living with all this noise
And it gets so hard to see the path that brings you joy
Crazy things, crazy people
Falling down from the stars
And I just try to be the best I’m capable of
Oh, I wish she’d say I was

I will beg for thee lay prostrate for thee
Come on, Sister Love
Hold me pray for me make it safe for me
Come on, Sister Love

Oh, heart breaking slowly all the way down the block
I’m standing in her shadow
And walking in her walk
If she turned I’d be frozen, I couldn’t even talk
But I’d find a way to make her smile
I’d give it my best shot
Oh, I wish, I wish she’d stop.

I won’t stray from thee I will wait for thee
So long, Sister Love
Hold me pray for me make it safe for me
So long, Sister Love
