BIG SISTER
Everyone looks up at you smiles brightly says you'll go far.
They look at me with a sad smile and say"Follow your sisters steps."
How can I?Be like her?Everythings she is, is what I'm not.
She's smart and beautiful, popular. I'm not anything like her.
I wish.
Big sister not saying your feet are big, but how can I follow your footsteps?
Your teachers compliment you all mine do is just complain.
I look at the stars and count myself to sleep. Thinking of how to be more like her.
Struggle my hardest,cry sometimes. Do what I can. What I do best.
Bit my lip when momma says
Be more like your big sister,she'll go far in life.
Honey your smart but try to be like her.
Wished you just say
Little sister don't be sad they just don't understand.
Your smart and your own person.
Don't try to be me, I evny you sometimes.
People can talk to you,you draw people in.
Your smart and your everything I'm not.
Few years later come home from you the message machine Your voice comes on..
Little sister I'm so proud. Told you'd go far, Momma and Daddy are so proud.
Just remember
Your smart and your own person.
Don't try to be me, I evny you sometimes.
People can talk to you,you draw people in.
Your smart and your everything I'm not.
Come home soon, everyone is asking you who are and where you are.
I smile and tell them "Going far in life, living her way,saving people her way."
I call and leave a message on her phone
Big sister glad you called. I missed you and everyone. Sometimes I lay awake and think of the days when I thought.
How can I?Be like her?Everythings she is, is what I'm not.
She's smart and beautiful, popular. I'm not anything like her.
I wish.
Big sister not saying your feet are big, but how can I follow your footsteps?
Your teachers compliment you all mine do is just complain.
I look at the stars and count myself to sleep. Thinking of how to be more like her.
Struggle my hardest,cry sometimes. Do what I can. What I do best.
Bit my lip when momma says

Honey your smart but try to be like her.
But then I'd laugh and think to myself
Guess I'm more like her than I thought.
Big sister I'm coming home.
