When you see me I’ll be proud
I’ll be crashing out loud
Like the dead black stars
Are still part of the system
And now, now we are too
And now, now we are too

When you met me I was torn
From some cloth I’d never known
And you sewed me up
Into something beautiful
And now, now you are too
And now, now you are too

Brother are you on your way
Sister are you on your way

That night we put on Carolina
And it made me think of home
A mess I had no hand in
Torn from a cloth I want to know
It made me think of paw print tracks
Teresa and her giving back
Treehouse kingdoms from the dirt
Run like hell and don’t get hurt
When they ask, you’re doing good
Momma did the best she could
We live too far outside of town
To walk on sidewalks and not look down
At your only pair of shoes, no soles
Shuffling down Seminole
Now I see a sign fly past
Write this down and make it last
Make amends and make the trek
Hug them close while there’s time left

Sister are you on your way
So many things I need to say
You always had the time
