Well, sister, I’ll tell you

Life for me ain’t been no clear sky

It’s had dark clouds,

And lightning,

And loud booms of thunder

And all types of strong storms

But all the time

I’se been flying high,

And sometimes up in the lower clouds

Where it was very dim

 So girl, don’t ever stop soaring

Don’t you let anyone bring you down

‘Cause you’ll find it’ll be harder to get up

So don’t you stop flying now

For I’se still flyin’ high, sis

I’se still going

And life for me aint been no clear sky
