Big Sister, Little Sister

They told us to ask questions,
They told us to demand.
They told us that we sisters
Can't walk out hand in hand.

She told us to ask questions,
And then to leave our mark.
She said to give no reason
For choosing to embark.

The bonfire lit the beach-head
And echoed off the stars;
Spark-fairies, cap'ring gamely,
Caught night-wind in their jars.

I see the world in color;
You hear it through your heart;
You find it laced with wisdoms
That dreams alone impart.

And who I am in your eyes
I'm sure I'll never know.
You breathed me into darkness;
You gave my love to snow.

And as I'm moving forward-
Hey, can you feel the change?-
The me that lives inside you-
Hey, will it rearrange?

And will you now remember
I'm not as I once was?
That soul was but a question,
And you are the "because."
