Love spreads her arms
Waits there for the nails
I forgive you boy, I will prevail
Too much to take, some cross to bear
I'm hiding in the trees with a picnic
She's over there
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

She didn't scream
She didn't make a sound
I forgive you boy, but don't leave town
Coal black skin, naked in the rain
Hammer flash in the lightning
They're hurting her again

Let me put you in the picture
Let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister
Ain't no king man she's my queen

Let me put you in the picture
Let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister
Ain't no king man she's my queen

I had a dream I've seen the light
Don't put it out, yeah she's alright
Yeah, she's my sister

She didn't scream
She didn't make a sound
I forgive you boy, but don't leave town
Coal black skin, naked in the rain
Hammer flash in the lighting
They're hurting her again
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Let me put you in the picture
Let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister
Ain't no king man, she's my queen

Let me put you in the picture
Let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister
Ain't no king man, she's my queen

Let me put you in the picture

Ain't no king man, she's my queen

Let me put you in the picture
