Little Sister

I see you there
I hear your testimony everywhere
the day is clear
don't mind you knowing I still live in fear

the home we had
was rather frightening it was rather sad
and so 
dear dad
this son is setting for the promised land

I think of the little sister 
that I never had
and I know
we've all really missed her
the sister who would have kept 
bitter at bay

my mind divides
when I'm a witness to the pain you hide
my hands do time
I think you need it now
(although what for I can't decide)

my little sister would have smiled
my little sister wouldn't lie

I think of the little sister 
that I never had
and I know
we've all really missed her
the sister who would have kept 
bitter at bay
