Sister Crow
(More about the song coming soon.)
Sister —
You’re the everyday —
The ordinary miracle.
You stay within reach.
[INTRO]
Sister is all sisters.
All who walked beside —
We share the past in bone and breath.
We are what came next.
Ground that held us both.
I am the sister who climbed by stepping sideways.
Stems grew separate.
Roots still tangled.
[CHORUS]
Ohhh…
How different things might have been —
and we sit here now.
Sister —
You’re the everyday —
The ordinary miracle.
You stay within reach.
(Sister)
My little self leans in.
(Sister. Sister)
[VERSE 1]
Little one inside, you learned to perform.
Sister claps when the mask drops.
Little one inside, you stopped asking for help.
Sister notices the quiet and helps anyway.
She is the hug, the shared blanket, the hand on my shoulder.
She sits close enough that the kid leans in.
Sister points at what gets skipped.
She puts it in my hands.
Sister shows up in the dry spots.
Patient as a seed under snow.
We both learned which doors stay closed.
Now we build our own hinges.
We kept quiet for years.
Now we make our own noise.
[PRE-CHORUS]
I see you. I’m here.
The kid doesn’t have to move.
Sister stays.
Even when it gets loud.
We wait it out.
[Mini verse]
Lonely rooms forget who lived there.
I remember.
Zinnias where we dropped what we didn’t say.
Zoned out side by side on the floor.
You stay within reach.
The little one inside feels it.
This time doesn’t end the same way.
[PRE-CHORUS]
I see you. I’m here.
The kid doesn’t have to move.
Sister stays.
Even when it gets loud.
We wait it out.
[CHORUS]
Ohhh…
How different things might have been —
and we sit here now.
Sister —
You’re the everyday —
The ordinary miracle.
You stay within reach.
(Sister)
My little self leans in.
(Sister. Sister)
[BRIDGE]
My little self stops checking the door.
Sister stays with me.
She keeps me steady here.
I lean into her.
[CHORUS]
Ohhh…
How different things might have been —
and we sit here now.
Sister —
You’re the everyday —
The ordinary miracle.
You stay within reach.
(Sister)
My little self leans in.
(Sister. Sister)
[OUTRO]
We shed the shape they gave us.
The girl becomes woman.
The field is ours.
We learn each other here.
Everything else is just feathers.
