Sista Sista
Beverly Knight · Voice: The Best Of
Playing with time that she just doesn't have
Dreamin' that life is a stranger that brings you flowers
Prayin' the dream is real as she feels it is
Dreams bring you anything
Hoping that chance could
Bring you to the other side
Wanting a future there
Feeling that love affair with the other side
Sista sista
Better run better fly
Better weather on the other side
Sista sista
Stand up tall don't you ever fall
Sista sista
Can't you hear my call
Over the bridge turning right at the stop sign
Lives a woman who thinks as you do
Watchin' the world thru' the glare of a TV screen
Wonderin' what's round the corner for you
I would give anything
Hoping that chance could bring me to the other side
Soon as my thoughts are clear
One day I'll see you there
On the other side
Chorus (x3)
