My sister.
Why do you wheap..
My sister.
Why do you not sleep..


I have walked within myself
miles and miles without a word.
 there is no easy way out here.
THat can ease this kind of hurt.

This is not my worries.
That you keep it to your own.
But now that I am by your side.
You will never be alone.


My sister.
I wish there was a way..
My sister.
Don't fear the truth at break of day..

I have walked within myself.
to share this secret, if I dare.
You will the only one.
be there, be close, be near.

Sister's Secret feat. Edward Bryant

Lyrics :
"Hey Bartender"
(Verse 1) Hey bartender, I’m callin’ out to you, I’ve been prayin’, but you don’t hear me through. There’s a drinkin’ buddy, I’m lost in his charm, And I sip the whiskey poured from his arm. Every time he stirs from his drunken sleep, He grabs that bottle, takes another leap, And he pours me four for every tear I weep.
(Chorus) Oh, a weepin’ heart, torn apart by the miles, The one he loves is like a swayin’ pine. Sleepless nights and a soul in decline, Every thought of leavin’ makes him cry awhile. Why’s he cryin’ over things that ain’t come yet? Why’s he mournin’ for the sun that ain’t set?
(Verse 2) My eyes are dimmed, I can’t see no more, Since you left, the moonlight feels unsure. These tears run long, they blur my sight, And my broken heart joins the fight. Now I’m battlin’ sorrow and the pain of desire, A hopeless dream, a burnin’ fire.
(Chorus) Oh, a weepin’ heart, torn apart by the miles, The one he loves is like a swayin’ pine. Sleepless nights and a soul in decline, Every thought of leavin’ makes him cry awhile. Why’s he cryin’ over things that ain’t come yet? Why’s he mournin’ for the sun that ain’t set?
(Bridge) My folks keep sayin’ I’m a fool for this ache, They laugh and tell me it’s all just a fake. But my pain’s too real, I can’t make it less, It’s the hope and despair of this emptiness. A heart that burns, a tear that won’t stop, Knows its sins but won’t own up to the lot.
(Outro) Hey, you who turns away when I sing, My love for you’s growin’ in the spring. Don’t you dare call my love a lie, This heart beats true ‘til the day I die.

"Hey Bartender" is a soulful country ballad that captures the raw emotions of heartache, longing, and unspoken love. With vivid imagery of whiskey-fueled nights and tear-streaked faces, it tells the story of a weary soul pouring out their heart to a silent listener the bartender. This deeply emotional song is a tribute to unfulfilled love, the ache of separation, and the hope that lingers in the shadows of despair. A perfect blend of storytelling and melody, it resonates with anyone who's ever loved and lost.

Lyrics : 

The Honeybee

(Verse 1) The honeybee spoke, said, "I don’t trust no crooked man, No greedy hand to pull my wings, to claim my land." She told me, "Look now, child, and see the broken crown, A king that heals, a shepherd bleeds, but no word gets around."
(Chorus) Welcome, honeybee, fly high and free, Through the dust, through the trees, through the bones of history. Welcome, honeybee, oh, light on my hand, Sing your tune for the lost and the damned.
(Verse 2) Sing low by the river, by the roses and the thorns, Where the preacher’s voice is hollow and the gambler’s oath is sworn. Oh, mercy’s in the garden, but the field is soaked in blood, And the wind hums a sorrow no whiskey can flood.
(Chorus) Welcome, honeybee, fly high and free, Through the dust, through the trees, through the bones of history. Welcome, honeybee, oh, light on my hand, Sing your tune for the lost and the damned.
(Bridge) I asked her, "Why do your soldiers bow and break? No lies, no schemes, no poison in their wake?" She said, "I don’t serve no hollow king, no beast in silver chains, The weight of gold will drown a man before the flood or flame."
(Outro) The king may heal, the shepherd’s torn, The preacher prays, the thief is born. But the whisper in the fields, the fire in the sky, Says the honeybee lives, though the wicked may die.

The Honeybee

Cousins laughing  2.

On a planet resembling Earth, in a Galaxy far, far away 
There were creatures resembling humans of two pigmentations: one red and one blue 
And the red ones instructed the blue ones that there is one word that THEY must never say. 
And they will be ostracized, subject to violence or otherwise harmed if they do. 

You see, one or two centuries prior, the blue ones held red ones enslaved 
And there was a word that the Blue ones would use to refer to the red ones possessed
And though they had long since been freed, in lieu of the justice they craved 
They insisted the blue ones should never again breathe that word, not even in jest

And the blues ones at first were quite gladly compliant, at first they completely concurred
But the red ones adopted this word as a term of endearment, not a hideous curse!  
And now and again some poor Blue would get loose with its tongue and then out popped that word! 
And red ones who heard it were given free license to beat the blue or something worse! 

Even the most rich and powerful Blue ones if ever that word did they say
Were forced to make public apologies, tearfully beg for forgiveness, repentant 
that’s just the trouble with pendulums swinging too wide can the pendulums sway 
What started as simply a politic gesture was simmering now as resentment 

Words are just noises you make to express an idea you may have at the time
Our primitive ancestors, warning of predators, made noises just to alert you 
Always remember the words that are used in that world famous nursery rhyme:
Sticks and Stones may break your bones but words will never hurt you 

Most Blues were fine with not saying the word, its insulting so why not refrain 
And all of that’s true but it’s rather short sighted and frankly it misses the point  
The point is that blue ones were forced to comply or else suffer the punishment’s pain 
And when rules don’t apply to both red and blue equally, blue noses get out of joint 

So small bands of blues started saying the word in their home and amongst other blues 
And the building resentment would over time lead to a war pitting race against race 
Only slaves are subjected to punishment over expressing unpopular views 
Free people use any words that they want to:  a warning from deep outer space!
