I wrote this one day while sitting at a park bench with my 12-string acoustic during my lunch. I wrote the music and immediately ran inside and penned the words about my sister. It was the only time I can remember that words came at the same time as music for me. I just seemed to pull this one right out of the ether...
Lyrics
Little sister please come out and play
the sun’s out, we can use the jungle gym
Little sister please don’t worry for me
she won’t hurt me, guess you were right once again
So many days
In so many ways
I wish they could make all people as good as you
You’ve always hit the nail on it’s head
How is it so?
Little sister let’s go to the bog today
eat this cranberry, I love tricking you
Little sister thanks for walking with me
somehow you could always see right through
(even though I tried to hide it from you)
In darkest days
Or brightest nights
No one can read me quite as well as you
Maybe it’s you, maybe the family
Somehow you’re even better than for what I prayed
God knew the need for you
Even though I hid it from you
