My Every Other Sisters' Paradise

Cold Play: Paradise (lyrics)

(The verses below have been instantly inspired by the song above, and dedicated to all the sisters out there...)

Their dreams left on hold; immortalised 

My every other sister 

Living this life; part paralysed... 

As a child, seeing with eyes opened wide 

My every other sister 

Looking at life now; partly desensitised... 

Walking around with hopes to one day sour out; fly high 

My every other sister 

Gets back up; by yet another fall, temporarily mortified... 

Listening, doing; all as she is expected to do 

My every other sister 

Existing for their sake; has been skillfully mollified... 

Making the best of today; her gift of life 

My every other sister 

In her sleep goes to take a much needed bite of paradise...
