I'm saying goodbye to you my friend and to this street
You send my message on
theres to many here they would only hold me down
And I need to go...

Bye bye sweet sister you be well now
You stay smart and hold yourself now
Cause theres no man out here who's good for you
I've seen men and they're no good for you

My angel...

You can call my name
And I'll come home for you
I can protect you again
From all that made you cry
As your older brother
I'm bound to put a smile upon those lips...

Tell mom it was hard to leave
Hug her tightly and whisper in her ear..

"Mom I'll come home to you
Before the winter takes the food from our table
And before you lay your sweet and weary head to sleep
I'll embrace your hand not as a child but as a man.."

Dear mother I am here for you now
To stay by your side forever by your side
I'm home I came back home
But to find you sick and old hurts my heart and weakenss my soul
I was gone to long
Baby sister is a woman now
A beautiful one...

I missed all that..

And maybe there was no beauty with a mountain crying
Maybe it was crying for me
And maybe there was no beauty with a sun dying
Cause every morning it gave birth to me
And everytime I was born into a place
where I did not belong.....
