Five Little Fingers
This is the baby who doesn't do a thing,
This is the lady who loves to wear a ring,
This is their big sister, this is another,
And this stout thumb is their great sturdy brother.

My Brother Sarah - Sway B-side
My brother sarah
Doesn't know what clothes to wear
It's a dilemma
To get the stuff to match your hair
But mother and father
Sister and brother
Say they just don't know
My brother sarah
Really wish you understood
Why he's got to show it
For it to be any damn good
But mother and father
Sister and brother
Say they just don't know
My brother lies awake at night
Wishing this world could just be right
But mother and father
Sister and brother
You and all the others
Say you just don't know

I Want To See Another World
I want to see another world
For me and my child
My old lady, too
Maybe you
If we can
If we get to
I want to see another world
I want to see another world.
I think you might see a great ship up in the sky
Like an eagle, like a stallion
Might be a burning silver wheel
Let you know you can fly
Look up in the sky
Look up thru the darkness
I think it might be love.
I want to see another world
For me and my child
My old lady, too
Maybe you
If we can
If we get to
I want to see another world
I want to see another world
I want to see another world
When all the sky is darkness
When all the ground you know is gone
How the solar wind she blows
Snowy silver dragon sings the songs
Flying straight up to the sky
Great singing engines sigh and
Drive this metal fragment into time.
Lets try to get along with each other
Sister and brother
Father and mother
Everyones a lover.
I want to see another world...
Lets try to get along with each other
Sister and brother
Father and mother
Everyones a lover.
Get along with each other
Sister and brother...

Cry
Our fire will rise
Ringmaster's eyes
Funhouse will rock
Those boys don't lie
Immortal fear
It's voice so clear
Through broken walls
Your screams I hear
Cry little sister
Come, come to your brother
Unchain me sister
Love is with your brother
Clown masquerade rich boys look up
When will they learn
This loneliness?
Temptation's heat
Milenko's word
Deep in your soul
You cannot lie
Come, come to your brother
Unchain me sister
Love is with your brother
Our shangrila
You can't forget
Always so close
Come to us now
Cry little sister
Come, come to your brother
Unchain me sister
Love is with your brother
Cry little sister
Come, come to your brother
Unchain me sister
Love is with your brother
Cry, little sister

What Is Fancy?
SISTER.
I am to write three lines, and you
Three others that will rhyme.
There-now I've done my task.
BROTHER.
Three stupid lines as e'er I knew.
When you've the pen next time,
Some question of me ask.
SISTER.
Then tell me, brother, and pray mind,
Brother, you tell me true:
What sort of thing is fancy?
BROTHER.
By all that I can ever find,
'Tis something that is very new,
And what no dunces can see.
SISTER.
That is not half the way to tell
What fancy is about;
So pray now tell me more.
BROTHER.
Sister, I think 'twere quite as well
That you should find it out;
So think the matter o'er.
SISTER.
It's what comes in our heads when we
Play at 'Let's-make-believe,'
And when we play at 'Guessing.'
BROTHER.
And I have heard it said to be
A talent often makes us grieve,
And sometimes proves a blessing.

My little brother
I love my little brother…
I love my little brother,
He's my eye lids,
however there's one thing I don't like
Is when my brother has a cry!
He gives me a big bright smile
when he see me after a long time
my little brother loves me too!
Sometimes I need his shoulder for cry
Sometimes he helps me to pick me up when I fall
I am your big sister and I'll never let…
Any troubles come your way
Cause I'll protect you each day
No matter how much we will fight, argue,
However I always care for you,
No doubt, I will never admit it
Becoz Something I don't want to show up

Jerusalem Is My Brother
Jerusalem is my brother
That I am very proud to have
Shallon shallon shallon
Jerusalem is my brother
Sometimes I borrow some clothes and shoes from my brother to wear
When I am tired of my own style and he doesn't mind because I borrow my Clothes and shoes for him to wear in return
So we ar e both doing a favor for each other
Shallon shallon shallon
Jerusalem is my brother
And I couldn't ask for a brother better than Jerusalem
Shallon Shallon Shallon
Jerusalem is my brother
And we are swimming in the Red Sea
Today but the good thing is that we will not sink in the Red Sea

Jerusalem is my brother that I love very much
Shallon Shallon Shallon

And he is the leader in everything we do togeher

A sister. A brother.
A brother is the one who holds you as you shake in fear.
A sister is the one who looks up at you with love on her face.
A brother is the one who whipes the tears from your face and hugs you tight.
A sister is the one who tells you her deepest fears and her dreams for the future.
A brother is the one who watches as you becomes the woman you always wanted to be.
A sister is the one who fulfills her dreams with you right by her side, cheering her on.
A brother is the one who holds you through the downs and smiles through the ups.
A sister is the one who thanks you for your love and support.
A brother is the one who just smiles and says it was his pleasure.
A sister is the one who looks at you like the stars that shine.
A brother is the one who looks at you like you are his world.
A sister.
A brother.
They need each other.

Soul sister
You are my soul sister
That God gave to me
And in return God gave you
A soul Brother
That is me
Soul sister
Take god care of yourself
Soul sister
Give yourself a treat once
But don't do it all the time
Because too many treats are not good
And you can end up even being a diebetic like me
Soul sister
God loves you and I
Soul sister
We will grow old someday
Soul sister
Lets give a hand to a senior
Soul sister
Lets worship God together
Soul sister
There are people out there that will hurt us
But we have to keep our eyes open for that
Soul sister
Lets take good care of the earth
That God gave to us
Soul sister
Money doesn't grow on trees
And that is why we have to learn to save money also
Soul sister
Our spirit is alive
And it will be alive each day
That we live our lives here on earth
Soul sister

Wherever you are today and always

Brothers, Sisters
I don’t care what skin you’re in
You’re my brother
And I love you
I don’t care how messed up its bin
You’re my sister
And I love you
The past
Its history
He’s won the victory
You’re my brother
My sister
I love you
South African
Through and through
Should have Gone through pain and sorrow with you
My brothers and sisters
I love you
I watched as people discriminated
They ostracized
The pride
The pain
My brother
My sister
Love hurts
But by Christ we see
It’s the only way it should be
Sacrifice fuels our hearts
It sets us ablaze
For you
I will risk it
Our citizenship
On paper- False
But in our hearts- the rebirth certificate
A citizenship not of this world
Made one by Christ
We’re together
No more divides
My brother and sister
I love you
How can I just stand by?
How can I live my life without loving you?
You’re my brother
You’re my sister
And I love you
By his scars we are made one
By his bruises set free
He accepts us as we are
Broken and battered
He loves us at the greatest cost
So why should I hold back?
How can I?
With such knowledge all I can do is love you
My brother and my sister

Swear Your Love
by Kenny Loggins
I got a letter from my love
It said,"Eaxactly what I'm thinkin' of
No words can say"
Well darlin' I'll find a way
You see your diamond ring
I'm here to say it doesn't mean a thing
Without your love,
'N if that's all we really got
Then take it off
Tear it off
Swear your love
Say you don't need no diamond baby
If some piece of paper's keepin'
Us together I ain't buyin' it baby
Swear your love
All you really got after it's said and done
Is what we tell each other
When there's one on one
Darlin' won't ya swear your love?
I know a lady in Spokane
She thought that happiness would find her when
She caught a man
Security second hand
She got her diamond ring
It's sad to say
That was the only thing
I guess she forgot
You gotta believe enough
To swear your love
Swear your love
Say you're with me forever baby
No legal paper,
Pressure from your friends'll ever keep us together
Swear your love
That's the only way to hold on babe
Promise me you'll be my only lady
Darlin' won't ya swear your love?
This ain't no ticket out
Is that what you think
Our love is about?
Think twice before you call
Girl, get it straight
Or don't get it at all
(SOLO)
Swear your love
Say you're with me forever baby
No piece of paper's keepin'
Us together I ain't buyin' it baby
Swear your love
Say you don't need no diamond baby
No legal paper,
Pressure from your friends'll ever keep us together
Swear your love ( 8 times )

Worn On
Baby
You wear my ring so well
Like my heart
On your sleeve
I’ll manage
I’ll cope
While you grope
For answers
In the dark corners
Of your mind
But Baby
I’ll be your guide
Through trials
Through the files
Of emotions you keep
Let my light seep
Into the gaping wounds
And help heal
Whatever’s broken
Baby, you wear my ring
A token
Of what this heart may bring
So damn well
Fool the Devil
Fool her messenger
Me
Until your wonderful...
SURPRISE!
Come on, Baby
We all love this game
Of hearts, tarts, and twits
The whole she-bang
Baby, you could kill
This whole damn show
We don’t know we’re in
But I must say
Wow, Baby
You wear my love
Out
So well

Pretty Man (feat. Maceo Parker)
Don't hate me cuz I'm beautiful
Hey now, what's up?
Aw, U know how 2 come over here starin' at a brother so hard
Huh, say U what?
CHORUS:
If U wanna be my baby, got 2 tell me so
Over competant lady, better act like U know
If U wanna be my baby, come on take my hand
Tell me that U wanna get with Prettyman
See me up here dancin', dancin' on the flo'
Got 2 think about doin' just a little mo'
The way I wear my knickers around this booty tight
Make a sister wanna call me up every night - hey!
CHORUS
Everywhere I go, people stop and stare
They just wanna see me swing this pretty hair
If there ever comes a time when it just won't grow
I'll keep it like my brother and buy some mo' - hey!
CHORUS
(Tell me)
(Looka here)
(Do ya know)
(Take my hand)
(Say it!)
Ooh, uh
If U wanna be my baby, got (Prettyman)
Ooh, Prettyman
(Prettyman) {repeats}
Looka here now
In the early morning when I'm feeling nice
I walk by the mirror and kiss it twice
When it comes 2 perfume, i-it's on the shelf
I get it down, if ain't nobody around
I, I, I smell myself
Hey, uh, Prettyman, looka here
I ain't through
Say I don't, uh, wait a minute
Come on, band, break down
I don't care about money, I buy gold by the ounce
Y2K, not today, I write a check and the bank bounce
"Superball" used 2 be my nickname if U ask about love
No money back guarantee when I'm above
Pretty man
If U wanna be my baby, got 2 tell me so
Over competant lady, gotta act like U know
If U wanna be my baby, come on take my hand
Tell me that U wanna get with the Prettyman, huh

Uh, pretty
From Harlem, uh, ay, off 2 Tokyo
Wait, stop, ah, go

Hey, Prettyman
Oh yeah

Can I scream now? Hey {x6}, ohhh no!
Hey, hey, hey!
Hello?
Who is it?
Yes, this is a Prettyman

Sisters And Brothers
I wish I had a sister, who would be there all the time
I wish I had a brother, who would be all mine
I wish I wasnt alone anymore just as I am
so mabey I need to take a stand
all I have is my mother.
My sister and brother are both gone
not one of them here when I get home
sometimes not even my mother
I have to have a sister or brother.
My sister and brother both are gone
but they wont be alone for long
for even though I never saw them from the start
they will always be here in my heart.

Baby Brother
I have have a baby brother
Born May 3 1989
He is the last of Three
We often live our lives
with our feelings never expressed
this poem is to tell you i love you
Its how i express my self the best
We have always tried to help each other
Do what we could
we have always maintained a relationship like a brother and sister should.
If i were to chose who was to be my brother
I would pick you i would not pick any other
we have made a lot of bad decisions but,
no matter what the outcome was for each other
we were always there.
We may not always agree on things
but just always remember one thing
YOU STILL MT BABY BROTHER AND I LOVE YOU! ! ! ! !
So the next time you fell sad and blue jsut walk to the computer
because you know that were i will be.

For My Sister on Her 16th Birthday
I can no longer tell people that I have a little sister,
Now I must say that I have a younger sister,
Because you’re old enough to no longer be a ‘little sister’,
Though to be honest, that’s what you’ll always be to me.
This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to write,
Because there are no words of wisdom that I can give you
That you probably don’t already know,
The only advice I could impart is just to stay crazy.
I know that soon I’ll be going away and things may not be the same,
But I’ll always remember you like you are from this past year.
My sister- the strong, independent girl who takes no rubbish off anyone,
Listens to Elaine Page and the Sex Pistols, quotes Monty Python as if it were verse
And uses her eyebrows as dangerous weapons.
What I just want you to know, no matter how old or young you are,
Just how much your brother loves you dearly,
Even though you’re no longer old enough to be my little sister anymore.

My Sister my sister
My sister holds me tight
My sister kisses me goodnight
My sister knows when I’m mad
My sister helps me when I’m sad
My sister is so smart
My sister has my heart
My sister loves me lots
My sister ties the knots
My sister is here to stay
My sister I have until this very day
My sister I wish you well
My sister yes I can tell
My sister asked if I lied
My sister knows if I’ve cried
My sister has moved away
My sister is in my heart to and will always stay

In the darkness of your skin
In the darkness of your skin
Is the ancestral love of men
In your eyes, yes deep within
Is the love that can but win
Your hands must be posed to defend
The love that loves itself as kin
Brother to brother sister to sister
We blacks have come to discover
The ease of loving each other
A battle fought hard and won
Under the African and American sun
Be it for the poets to say
That in matter of the heart we know the way
To praise by the motion of our pens
The glorious love of men for men
We warn you brother do not condemn
What it is that you do not understand
Except your brother as friend
For he is needed in the battle
Of the fight that we must fight
To hold in heart the American rights
Be you not ashamed if he put on a grown
Be you not ashamed if he put on make-up
And don a wig to wear as a grown
But see him true as a work of art
let not his masquerade set him apart
If you think true that your God deny
Then you must be brave to question why

Sister
See me walking aimlessly about,
Dont know whether to whisper or to shout,
I could be wrong, I could be very, very right.
Here I stand, innocence in my room
Shes naked in my bed, wild thoughts inside my head
Oh no! shes my...
Sister, with her, dont let your heart
Break too soon.
Maybe, baby, come on sister,
Lady youre my breath!
I could have been to you tonight
What Ive wanted to be all my life
The day is gone now I can see.
I cant sustain your love
I cant complain your love
I cant explain your love
Oh no! shes my...
Sister, with her, dont let your heart
Break too soon
Maybe, baby, come on sister,

Killer

Sister
It's the loneliness thats the killer
So you want
To be free
To live your life
The way you want to be
Will you give
If we cry
Will we live
Or will we die
Jaded hearts
Heal with time
Shoot that love
So we can
Stop the bleeding

Is there still a part of you that wants to live
Solitary sister
Is there still a part of you that wants to give

And live our lives

There is no other love no other love like ours
There's no other love There's no other love There's no other love
There is no other love no other love like ours
There's no other love There's no other love There's no other love
There's no other love There's no other love There's no other love
