There's a chip on your shoulder, girl
 And by God it'll make you fall
 If you let it take a part of your soul

 I see the love in your brother's eyes
 And the love in your mother's cries
 Sister don't test the ones you love

 Sister don't let go
 Sister don't let go of us
 [x2]

 Cause your roots will rot away
 And your [bad word]  it wont grow
 Your bark will wear thin, body hollow

 I see the love in your brother's eyes
 And the love in your mother's cries
 Sister don't test the ones you love

 Sister don't let go
 Sister don't let go of us
 [x4]

 Don't test the ones you love
 It'll only tear us down
 If you want to feel alive
 Then learn to love your ground
 [x2]

 Love your ground

 Sister don't let go
 Sister don't let go of us
 [x4]
