Sister, sister you don't have to cry
Everything will be alright
My sister you don't have to weep
'Cuz things are getting better
Sister you don't have to cry
Everything will be alright
My sister you don't have to weep
'Cuz things are getting better
A mother worries about the son she raised alone
'Cuz he is flirting with danger and it's getting close
But he won't listen she prays to God
And asks him would you please protect him but she is not alone
A young girl's lying about the weight she's gaining
Because she is hiding a baby that her boyfriend says
He didn't father he said he was in love
But now he can't be bothered
But keep your head up high little sister
Sister you don't have to cry
Everything will be alright
My sister you don't have to weep
'Cuz things are getting better
Sister you don't have to cry
Everything will be alright
My sister you don't have to weep
'Cuz things are getting better
Strugglin, trying, working days and school at night
The bills are piling, patience low and pressures high
And you can't take it, you say you'll just throw up your hands
But you can make it somebody understands
Sister you don't have to cry
Everything will be alright
My sister you don't have to weep
'Cuz things are getting better
Sister you don't have to cry
Everything will be alright
My sister you don't have to weep
'Cuz things are getting better
Strong and you're beautiful
You should see, you should know
Strong and you're beautiful
Sister, sister
Strong and you're beautiful
You should see, you should know
Strong and you're beautiful
Sister, it's gonna be alright
Sister you don't have to cry
Everything will be alright
My sister you don't have to weep
'Cuz things are getting better
Sister you don't have to cry
Everything will be alright
My sister you don't have to weep
'Cuz things are getting better
Sister you don't have to cry
Everything will be alright
My sister you don't have to weep
'Cuz things are getting better
Sister you don't have to cry
Everything will be alright
My sister you don't have to weep
'Cuz things are getting better
Sister, sister
Sister, sister
Sister, sister
