G            Bm             C          G
Oh, sister, when I come to lie in your arms
G               Em                C  G
You should not treat me like a stranger.
G           Bm                 C           G
Our Father would not like the way that you act
G             Em          C  G
And you must realize the danger.

Oh, sister, am I not a brother to you
And one deserving of affection?
And is our purpose not the same on this earth,
To love and follow His direction?

Chorus:
 F           C
We grew up together
           G
From the cradle to the grave
    F               C
We died and were reborn
             G         D
And then mysteriously saved.

Oh, sister, when I come to knock on your door,
Don't turn away, you'll create sorrow.
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore
You may not see me tomorrow.
