Sister/Mother

[Intro]
Sister/mother
Sister/mother

[Verse 1]
Sister/mother, I need your protection
Sing a prayer for my soul's insurrection
I know it's none of your business
But I'm in need of a hundred-thousand dollar witness

[Verse 2]
Drop my wallet in the wishing well
But that's the same old story they all tell
I know it's none of your business
But I'm in need of a hundred-thousand dollar witness

[Chorus 1]
And I can understand your fears
Of saving souls still strong enough to fight
But I remember you telling me that
No one should be alone on a night with no end
Sister/mother
And so it's clear why I'm here my friend
Sister/mother
To read you every single song you sent me
Sister/mother
And give you back that stupid book you lent me
Sister/mother
And when excuses like these don't fit me
Sister/mother
I tell 'em all about the power you give me
Sister/mother

[Verse 3]
Certain persons, some I know quite well
Bought their ticket now they ride first class to hell
I know it's none of your business
But I'm in need of a hundred-thousand dollar witness

[Verse 4]
Holy daughter sprinkled over me
La Guardian angel lack of luxury
I know it's none of your business
But I'm in need of a hundred-thousand dollar witness

[Chorus 2]
And I can understand your fear
Of saving souls still strong enough to fight
But I remember you telling me that
No one should be alone on a night with no end
Sister/mother
Got to be clear why I'm here my friend
Sister/mother
I need a friendly lawyer to defend me
Sister/mother
Someone who's been to the places you send me
Sister/mother
And no amount of fresh air could bend me
Sister/mother
And so I plant a flower to outlive me, see
It grows to show all the power you give me
It grows to show all the power you give me
It grows to show all the power you give me
It grows to show all the power you give me
It grows to show all the power you give me
It grows to show all the power you give me
It grows to show all the power you give me
It grows to show all the power
Sister/mother, I need your protection
