Lyrics
Sista, Sista, Sista
Sista, Sista, Sista, our love must be strong, Sista, Sista, Sista, keep it going on!
Now's the time to ask ourselves, what's it gonna take, for us to get along and wash away the hate.
No one says it's easy to start a brand new day, but helping one another, that's the only way.
Sista, Sista, Sista, Our love must be strong, Sista, Sista, Sista, keep it going on.
Sista, Sista, Sista, Our love must be strong, Sista, Sista, Sista, keep it going on.
Change is gonna come. Let's make it for the better. If everybody's close, the family stays together.
Mother, Mother, can we hold the line? Give us your wisdom to help our kids survive.
Sista, Sista, Sista, Our love must be strong, Sista, Sista, Sista, keep it going on.
I believe we need some peace of mind. We can end the chaos if only we are kind.
Why don't we listen to ways that we're alike? Open our hearts and heal the divide.
Sista, sista, sista, Our love must be strong, Sista, Sista, sista, keep it going on.
Keep it going on, Yeah, Keep it going on.
