Sister
Oh, why are you sad?
Why have you cried?
Sister
Though you've been treated bad
You've still got your pride
There's so much that you can give
And you can, it's not too late
You have just begun to live
And good things come to those
Who do not wait
Don't listen to the heartbreakers
Find comfort in your staff and rod
Blessed are the peacemakers
For they shall see God
Brother
You've been doing time, for some little thing
Brother
It's not so much the crime but the color of your skin
Don't let them harden your heart
They just want to see you fall
You can make a brand-new start
Because you can rise above
Above it all
Don't listen to the heartbreakers
Find comfort in your staff and rod
Blessed are the peacemakers
For they shall see God
Father
Why do you drink your life away?
Father
Tell me what you think
There's so much you can say
There's so much you can share
You've kept it in for far too long
I don't believe that you don't care
I've always believed that you
Are big and strong
Don't listen to the heartbreakers
Find comfort in your staff and rod
Blessed are the peacemakers
For they shall see God
Mother
You've seen so much strife and misery
Mother
The giver of life
You will always be
And you are the one that makes things right
And all your work you do it for free
And I know you have to fight
Just so you can keep
Your family
Don't listen to the heartbreakers
Find comfort in your staff and rod
Blessed are the peacemakers
For they shall see God
Don't listen to the heartbreakers
Find comfort in your staff and rod
Blessed are the peacemakers
For they shall see god
Don't listen to the heartbreakers
Find comfort in your staff and rod
Blessed are the peacemakers
For they shall see God
