Oooh, oh sista, sista sista Sitting alone with her head full of empty thoughts Playing with time that she just doesn't have Dreaming that life is a stranger that brings you flowers Praying the dream is as real as she feels it is Dreams give you anything Knowing that chance could bring you to the other side Wanting her future there, feeling that love affaire With the other side [Chorus] Sista sista, better run, better fly Better weather on the other side Sista sista, stand up tall, don't you ever fall Sista sista, can't you hear my call? Over the bridge turning right at the stop sign Lives a woman who thinks as you do Watching the world through the glair of a tv-screen Wondering what's round the corner for you I would give anything, hoping that chance could bring me To the other side Soon as my thoughts are clear, one day I'll see you there On the other side [Chorus] Ooh, calling, calling Sista sista sista sista sista My sista [Chorus until fade]
