we shared so much in the wilderness
our success
and distress
now more is less
in our house we grew up as three
you broke free
now lost at sea
you still hold the key
years apart are tearing on our hearts
and I'm sorry
you're my little sister
when the push comes to shove
have no doubt
in my brotherly love
never fear ‘cos I promise I'll be there
when it matters
you're my little sister
when the push comes to shove
have no doubt in my strong
brotherly love
it's been a long and longing year
when you're not here
it is clear
I want you near
you're carelessness made you mature
and insecure
but we are sure
you will endure
years apart are tearing on our hearts
and I'm sorry
you're my little sister
when the push comes to shove
have no doubt
in my brotherly love
never fear ‘cos I promise I'll be there
when it matters
you're my little sister
when the push comes to shove
have no doubt
in my strong brotherly love
sister... sister
sister... sister
sister, sister, sister, sister
years apart are tearing on our hearts
and I'm sorry
you're my little sister
when the push comes to shove
have no doubt
in my brotherly love
never fear ‘cos I promise I'll be there
when it matters
you're my little sister
when the push comes to shove
have no doubt
in my strong brotherly love
