[Verse 1]
You were the kid with bruised-up knees
Hand-me-down coat
Pockets full of leaves
Laughing too loud in the grocery line
Saying
“One day
We’ll be fine”
[Chorus]
This one’s for my sister
For every time you held my hand
When the world felt like a whisper
You said
“Breathe
We’ll make a plan”
You were my first safe place
My truth when I was lost
This one’s for my sister
Worth more than any cost
[Verse 2]
We shared a room and a broken lamp
Secrets scribbled on the back of stamps
You’d fix my hair before the bus
Swore you’d always stand up for us
[Chorus]
This one’s for my sister
For every time you held my hand
When the world felt like a whisper
You said
“Breathe
We’ll make a plan”
You were my first safe place
My truth when I was lost
This one’s for my sister
Worth more than any cost
[Bridge]
All the roads we haven’t walked yet
All the dreams we still might chase
I’ll be cheering from the front row
Every time you find your place (oh oh)
[Chorus]
This one’s for my sister
For all the love you never name
For the quiet ways you rescue
And never ask for any praise
You are my first safe place
My truth when I feel small
This one’s for my sister
The bravest heart of all
