Hey Sister

You fly into the night to find a future
You can never know unless you try
No more time to waste anticipating a change
You've come so far and still you're moving forward
And now it's time to spread your wings and fly
I have no doubt you'll make it on your journey to the sky

Hey sister where you going
Do you think you'll get there soon
You must know that there's an empty space you left here
Oh and I fear that you won't be home soon

Do you recall a time when we were children
Running through the fields and feeling free
It sure did seem those days would last forever, no end
Now we're grown but inside we're still children
Struggling with the burdens of our lives
But you will never lose that fire burning in your eyes

Hey, sister where you going
Do you think you'll get there soon
You must know that there's an empty space you left here
Oh and I fear that you won't be home soon

From Arkansas to Southern California
The years went by and brought impending change
We moved across the world to lay our roots down, far away
Well, you know that your fate is what you make it
And making it meant leaving us behind
But don't forget to keep us at the center of your heart

Hey, sister, have you gone now
Do you think you'll be back soon
Don't you know that there's an empty space you left here
Oh and I fear that you won't be home soon
