about

This track is dedicated to my little sis who, at first, I was a phenomenal big brother to, then, over time, I wasn't very fond of (for various reasons... haha), and finally, who I began to love and admire deeply. She is now married to an amazing man, who I also love and admire. I love you Cristen.

lyrics

Cristen Lorraine Vaughan

V1
Seven years old, my mom and step dad just had daughter
wonder if i wondered if he felt more like her father
than mine
will she cost me the time
we used to spend
will she become my foe or my friend
started as the latter
shattered that to tatters and back again
and had to mend the friendship
turned ten and the fighting seemed endless
didn’t end until I relented
poor lil sis young and defenseless
against this lil man stressin
due to feelin’ less than
i guess I learned my lessons
from a dad who used to use his words as a weapon
how’d it go wrong when all along i dreamed of being strong
when you needed protection
but now our memories are just a collection
of scars on our hearts
and bitter sweet recollections
of two little kids torn apart

Chorus
that I made some mistakes
but those are the breaks

that He can bear the weight
of our past and our pain

we’re made clean by his blood
so now we’re able to love

and i’m reminded of his grace
every single time we hug

V2
around 21, something in me changed
I started dealing with my issues and my pain
I fell to my face and let Christ begin to reign
and somehow you and I were friends again

its a mystery
but instantly
our misery

began diminishing
and injury
was history

and then a friendship
thats endless
cemented in a love thats relentless
extended
and life was replenished
and I couldn’t be prouder of the woman that youve become
nor could I be more ashamed of how dumb
i was but my love now is unconditional
proud of cris and trav, out there being missional
and as you continue to run to our savior
your vision’ll
only get clearer
i love my little sister crister bob
and even over the equator and separated by time our hearts
could not be nearer

Chorus
that I made some mistakes
but those are the breaks

that He can bear the weight
of our past and our pain

we’re made clean by his blood
so now we’re able to love

and i’m reminded of his grace
every single time we hug
