Lyrics:

Love spreads her arms
Waits there for the nails
I forgive you, boy
I will prevail
Too much to take
Some cross to bear
I'm hiding in the trees with a picnic
She's over there, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

She didn't scream
She didn't make a sound
I forgive you, boy
But don't leave town
Cold black skin
Naked in the rain
Hammer flash in the lightning
They're hurting her again

Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister, ain't no king, man, she's my queen
Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister, ain't no king, man, she's my queen
I have a dream, I've seen the light
Don't put it out, and she's alright, yeah, she's my sister

She didn't scream
She didn't make a sound
I forgive you, boy
But don't leave town
Cold black skin
Naked in the rain
Hammer flash in the lightning
They're hurting her again

Oh, oh, oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister, ain't no king, man, she's my queen
Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister, ain't no king, man, she's my queen
Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister, ain't no king, man, she's my queen
Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister, ain't no king, man, she's my queen
Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister, ain't no king, man, she's my queen
Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister, ain't no king, man, she's my queen
Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister, ain't no king, man, she's my queen
Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister, ain't no king, man, she's my queen
I had a dream, I've seen the light
Don't put it out, and she's alright, yeah, she's my sister
