Sister, sister, what have you done
You got nowhere left to run
Mercy, mercy on your soul
Never found your pot of gold
You were blinded by the bright lights
Where the city never sleeps
On the darker side of town
There ain't no easy street
You found out the hard way
Now you're out there all alone
You're a long, long way from home
Sister, you don't have to feel ashamed
You don't have to take the blame
I'll be waiting here for you
And sister, everybody makes mistakes
Don't you know it's not too late
There's an angel watching over you
Watching over you
Sister, sister, who can you trust
Now your dreams have turned to dust
Don't you listen to what they say
When you're out there on the streets
There's a price to pay
Now the bright lights have faded
Only darkness up ahead
Your life just ain't worth living
You'd be better off dead
You found out the hard way
And I know your aim was true
I ain't lost my faith in you
Oh, sister, you don't have to feel ashamed
You don't have to take the blame
I'll be waiting here for you
Sister, everybody makes mistakes
Don't you know it's not too late
There's an angel watching over you
Who you gonna run to
When there's no one else around
When your only friend is loneliness
I won't let you down
Sister
Oh, sister, you don't have to feel ashamed
You don't have to take the blame
I'll be waiting here for you
And sister everybody makes mistakes
Don't you know it's not too late
There's an angel watching over
Sister
Sister
Sister
Sister, oh...
Sister
Whoa...
Yeah...
