Sister Double Happiness – Hey Kids

Hey kids in school
I’m talking to the ones whose light’s been covered
Having to play by the rules
That some old man a thousand years ago discovered
Oh boy, but I wonder why
Why they’re messing with you
In the very same way they messed with me
A long long time ago

Hey Mr. Businessman
I see you every day in your pinstripe running
You never did understand that
When all those lies inside start burning
Oh boy you’re gonna wonder why
Why you waited so long
To make the love you need
‘Cause it should have been done
A long long time ago

Oh, in these days when my freedom is up for discussion
And you hold my future in your hands
Some private moment from your past
Might come back at you brother
And then the truth like poison
Will be handed to you gently
Or else thrown in your face

Hey friend of mine
I know you’re sick
But with love you can recover
Oh, I wanna take you in my arms
And I’ll yell out loud that I love you like a brother
Oh, boy, but I wonder why
Why they’ve waited so long to give you the care you need
‘Cause it should have done
A long time ago

Sister Double Happiness – You for You [Heart & Mind, 1991]

Sometimes I think about leaving home
Just pulling up stakes and go wandering
I don’t know where I belong
I hope what I’m doing is right
Lord, I pray I’m not wrong

‘Cause you know when you make mistakes
It’s really hard to right those wrongs
And you know when you cross life’s bridges
They are just as good as burned
And you know when you think that you’ve got it
It all just falls apart, don’t it?

I was hoping you would come along
Baby, there to keep me strong
I will keep you strong, too
I will never try to hold you down
I want you to stay around
I love you for you

‘Cause you know when you make mistakes
It’s really hard to right those wrongs
And you know when you cross life’s bridges
They are just as good as burned
And you know when you think that you’ve got it
It all just falls apart, don’t it?

I was hoping you would come with me
Baby, stay around to see
I will never do you wrong
I will never try to hold you down
I want you to stay around
Babe, I love you for you
