Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
I have a dream
I've seen the light
Don't put it out, and she's all right
Yeah, she's my sister
[Verse 3]
She didn't scream
She didn't make a sound
I forgive you, boy
But don't leave town
[Verse 4]
Cold black skin
Naked in the rain
Hammer flash in the lightning
They're hurting her again
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
I have a dream
I've seen the light
Don't put it out, and she's all right
Yeah, she's my sister
