Written for my sister Denice on her 18th birthday.

This song was originally written for my Mom, but I tweaked the verses to make it more applicable. Hope my sister doesn't mind sloppy seconds for a song hahar!

Code of Kin
Original song by Reese Lansangan

Verse I:

Sister Sister, come outside, I'll show you
There's a big, big world that's waiting to get to know you
And we we will run, we will run, run run

Come now sister, dont be afraid
Just say what you want, don't let that flicker fade
Don't be afraid

Chorus I:

Cause you've got your beautiful mind, you're a warrior 
Young and brave enough to pick your fights, to pick your fights
Let the salt water give you brand new eyes
So all you come home to is this side of paradise

Verse II:

Sister sister back inside I'll hold you
Don't believe the lies the lions told you
And little one are you torn apart
by the past that haunts your heart
Oh we will, we will run

Chorus II:

Cause you've got the strong strong heart of a soldier
So anchor all your dreams to the skies
Let the salt water give you brand new eyes
So all you come home to is this side of paradise


Bridge:

Sister if they shame your honor
Take your words and make it your armor now
Sister won't you curse the day
When they try to take your soul away from you now

Chorus III:

Cause your spirit is a spirit made of iron
Unbreakable by pain or lies
Let the salt water clear your tired, tired eyes
So all you could see is this side of paradise

Outro:

Sister Sister, come outside, I'll show you
There's a big, big world that's waiting to get to know you
And we we will run, we will run, run run


Code Of Kin (Original Song)

Reese Lansangan is an indie pop-folk artist who writes songs about good grammar, creepy stalkers, and the solar system among other things. 

Slightly crude and sometimes crass, she’s relentless in letting the world know of her opinion. With her signature wit, tongue-in-cheek humor, and vocal looping prowess, Reese commands the stage with her awkward banter and her ability to connect with people who appreciates general weirdness, injected into pop earworms.
