lyrics

Sister America

Took the train into Georgia
In hope of what I might find
I heard the voices calling me
Those I left behind

Hitched a ride to Virginia
Not welcome anywhere
I fought for your freedom
But no one seems to care

SISTER AMERICA
LAND OF THE FREE
SISTER AMERICA
DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME

I stood in the lineups
I hid my pain
A soldier marches on
Through tears and through rain

You said we'd always be together
In good times and bad
If ever you need a friend
There's a friend to be had

SISTER AMERICA
LAND OF THE FREE
SISTER AMERICA
DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME

Bridge (x 2)

SISTER AMERICA
LAND OF THE FREE
SISTER AMERICA
DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME

I feel my heart grow heavy
Neath the pouring rain
I never thought I'd say this
Send me back there again

We are strong together
Standing side by side
A nation united
By a warriors pride

SISTER AMERICA
LAND OF THE FREE
SISTER AMERICA
DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME

SISTER AMERICA
LAND OF THE FREE
SISTER AMERICA
DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME
