Best Friend, Sister

I know the words can hurt you

When they echo through the hall

When they try to make you smaller

Like you’re nothing there at all

But I see the strength inside you

Even when you cannot see

And I’ll stand beside you always

You’ll never stand alone with me

You are more than what they call you

More than every cruel goodbye

You’re a heart that keeps on shining

You’re a star across the sky

I will be your best friend,

sister

Through the laughter and the tears

I’ll be right here beside you

I’ll be with you through the years (ahhh-ooooh)

When the world feels cold and heavy

And the night won’t let you sleep

You can bring your fears and worries You can lay them here

with me

We can walk through every shadow

We can face the darkest rain

And if you forget your courage I will help you find it

again

You are more than what they call you

More than every hurtful lie

You’re a heart that keeps on shining You’re a sunrise in the

sky

I will be your best friend,

sister

Your safe place when you’re afraid

I’ll be right here beside you

Every promise that I made

Let them talk, let them wonder

They don’t know the soul I see

You are brave, you are cherished

You are everything to me

When your faith is getting weaker

I will lend you mine to hold

And together we’ll keep walking

Till the night gives way to gold

You are more than what they call you

More than every scar and tear

You’re a light that keeps on glowing

You are loved beyond compare

I will be your best friend,

sister No matter where this road may go

When you need someone beside you

I’ll be there—you’ll always know

You are more than what they call you

And you never walk alone

I’ll be your best friend,

sister

Anywhere you call

home
