It's just another day in the city People rushin', hustling, trying to make the scène I thought today was just like another day And it seemed to be like that Yeah it seemed to be, up until I passed this lady sitting at the bus stop She said "my child I'll take whatever you got" A quarter a nick or a dime, what ever you got is fine" Instead of just waking away, I took a little time to hear her say Sister my sister's got a problem Don't know where or how to solve 'em Been ten years living hand to hand Thinking nobody gives a damn Sister my sister's got a bible Couple of blankets for survival There are dogs up in them hills Eating better, better than she ever will And it's true, dog all truth Sister My Sister She's not much older than my mother can be (ooh!) And in her days she probably was a sight to see (Oh so pretty) I asked her why she's not at home with the family And her head just turned away Filled with tears from yesterday Sister my sister's got a problem Don't know where or how to solve 'em Been ten years living hand to hand Thinking nobody gives a damn Sister my sister's got a bible Couple of blankets for survival There are dogs up in them hills Eating better, better than she ever will And it's true, chaque jour And it's true, chaque jour Sister My Sister Sister My sister (To the bridge!) How long must it be this way Tell me how long to the glory of a new day brings An answer to thèse questions in my mind I don't want my sister's pain to last another day Sister my sister's got a problem Don't know where or how to solve 'em Been ten years living hand to hand Thinking nobody gives a damn Sister my sister's got a bible Couple of blankets for survival There are dogs up in them hills Eating better, better than she ever will And it's true, dog all truth Sister My Sister
