Love spreads her arms, waits there for the nails

I forgive you, boy, i will prevail

Too much to take, come 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



I have a dream, i've seen the light

Don't put it out, say 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

Oh, oh, ooh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah



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, say she's alright, yeah, she's my sister
