SISTER TO MY SOUL
(words & music by Andreas Lukas)
Hey, do you remember the shy boy
who sat in your classroom,
who tried to be smart
Cause he knew from the very first time
that he saw you that you´d be a
sister to his soul
When I was ten years old
you came into the room
your eyes dancing, shinig, reflecting your heart
The way how you walked and Lord knows when you talked
This child knew he´d found a
sister to his soul
You used to sing so many songs with us
Somehow you played them all only for me
Well, children and grown ups
don´t speak the same language
And many more steps we both
should have to take
You gave me so many things
I guess you gave me the freedom
to read and to write
I don´t know why we played around so long
But I know that we are somehow
so much alike
I have to make my own decisions
Thanks for your confidence
Thanks for your trust
It´s our purpose in this life to choose the streets
that lead us in growing and let us find
“diamonds & rust”
Take my hand and paint me a picture
Play some Joan Baez songs -
I´ll sing along
Utter the thoughts I would not dare to mention
Teach me love, you are a sister to my soul
Teach me love, you are a sister to my soul
