Lyrics

Sister Oh, why are you sad? Why have you cried? Sister Though you've been treated bad You've still got your pride There's so much that you can give And you can, it's not too late You have just begun to live And good things come to those Who do not wait Don't listen to the heartbreakers Find comfort in your staff and rod Blessed are the peacemakers For they shall see God Brother You've been doing time, for some little thing Brother It's not so much the crime but the color of your skin Don't let them harden your heart They just want to see you fall You can make a brand-new start Because you can rise above Above it all Don't listen to the heartbreakers Find comfort in your staff and rod Blessed are the peacemakers For they shall see God Father Why do you drink your life away? Father Tell me what you think There's so much you can say There's so much you can share You've kept it in for far too long I don't believe that you don't care I've always believed that you Are big and strong Don't listen to the heartbreakers Find comfort in your staff and rod Blessed are the peacemakers For they shall see God Mother You've seen so much strife and misery Mother The giver of life You will always be And you are the one that makes things right And all your work you do it for free And I know you have to fight Just so you can keep Your family Don't listen to the heartbreakers Find comfort in your staff and rod Blessed are the peacemakers For they shall see God Don't listen to the heartbreakers Find comfort in your staff and rod Blessed are the peacemakers For they shall see god Don't listen to the heartbreakers Find comfort in your staff and rod Blessed are the peacemakers For they shall see God
