lyrics

And when I saw her, (The rain was falling,)
Her tears were calling, (Where is my home?)
I wasn’t sure, (What to do,)
But she looked to the sky, (And the rain said.)

Said goodbye. Said goodbye.

Open your eyes.
let the healing arise.
Forget all the lies inside.
Just open your eyes.

The clouds dispersed and the sun it shined.
A ray of light hit her face that made her glow so bright,
Simply questioning the tears that still fell.
And I know what this means (And I know what this means!)

It’s the trees that sway to the beat of this love
That shines so brightly.
But it’s all so new to her.
She stills seems upset.
As she turns away,

Hiding the pain of yesterdays loss,
The trees still sway, but she continues to walk away.

And I follow her until I call out her name.
She stops and opens up her soul.

I can see it straight through her eyes,
Past all of the lies,
She smiles and says, "Aren't you coming?"

I show her a smile, not of sympathy, but of love.
As the last tear falls from her eye,
At least she knows, to me,

She will never have to say goodbye.

I know you come from a broken family.
I am here to be your shoulder to lean on.
Don't give up now.
I just want to be your brother.

Don't close your eyes. Dear sister. You are alive.
Dear sister. You are alive.
