Sister Brother Songtext
von Archie Roach

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 fine for some little things
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 all away?
Father, tell me what you think, there's so much you can say
There′s so much that 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 for free
And I know you have to fight
Just so you can feed 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
