Love spreads her arms
waits there for the nails
i forgive you boy
i will prevail
Too much to take
some cross to bear
i'm hiding in the trees with a picnic
she's over there, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah
She didn't scream
she didn't make a sound
i forgive you boy
but don't leave town
cold black skin
naked in the rain
hammer flash in the lightning
they're hurting her again
Let me put you in the picture
let me show you what i mean
the messiah is my sister
ain't no king, man, she's my queen
let me put you in the picture
let me show you what i mean
the messiah is my sister
ain't no king, man, she's my queen
i have a dream
i've seen the light
don't put it out, and she's alright
yeah, she's my sister
She didn't scream
she didn't make a sound
i forgive you boy
but don't leave town
cold black skin
naked in the rain
hammer flash in the lightning
they're hurting her again
