Lyrics

Sister of my tears
We rise
Sister of my cries

A mother's dream, a daughter's love
A sister's will that will be done
Our voices raised together will
Do the work of a million guns

Sister of my tears
Sister of my tears

Steel tempered in the fire of fear
Strength tested in the dark of hate
We had it in us all along
It isn't, never, won't be too late

Sister of my tears
Sister of my tears
Sister of my cries

Confused, abused, and used
We looked to him for our salvation
Not realising our own hands
Will hold and shape a generation

We rise
We rise

Sister of my tears
Sister of my cries
Sister of my tears
Sister of my cries

A mother's dream, a daughter's love
A sister's will that will be done
Our voices raised together will
Do the work of a million guns

Sister of my tears
