My sister, you are precious
Even though you've gone away
It has been thirty years now
But I think of you every day

You were taken from me then
And I never said goodbye
I had no chance to see you
So part of ME has died

Because it seems so wrong
That one so beautiful as you
Could be taken from this Earth
When so many are untrue

Why, God, do you do this?
What can the reason be?
Are you jealous of our love?
Do you so despise we're free?

Perhaps you cannot suffer
One so beautiful to live
On this Earth that You have given
And who had so much more to give

So you take her back to You
And we must suffer on
And we do suffer every day
Because! She has gone!

My Beautiful Sister
