Lyrics
[MOVEMENT I — SISTERS IN THE GARDEN]
[Gentle piano, brushed drums, upright bass, delicate strings. Warm, playful jazz waltz.]
Well, look who's standing at my door,
In satin shoes upon my floor!
You smell like roses, silk, and rain.
Come inside, I'll put the kettle on again.
You look so different, you look so free.
Is that a baby looking back at me?
Oh, sister, look at what you've grown!
A little garden, a little home.
You have such a pretty baby,
Such a lovely place to stay.
Tell me, does the world feel different
When you make it day by day?
[MOVEMENT II — ANY ORDER YOU PLEASE]
[Piano floats into a soft, swinging groove. Warm bass, breathy saxophone, intimate soulful phrasing.]
I used to think there was a staircase,
One direction, one design.
First a crown, then a wedding,
Then a life that wasn't mine.
But you can build yourself a garden
Before you let somebody in.
You can learn to love your own heart
Before you share it with a him.
There's no order to becoming.
There's no clock you have to please.
You can find yourself in winter.
You can fall in love in spring.
You can marry, you can wander,
You can change your mind again.
You can love a man completely
Without losing who you've been.
You can have it in any order,
You can write a different rhyme.
You don't owe the world a sequence.
You don't have to race the time.
[MOVEMENT III — A LITTLE GOLD]
[The groove softens. Piano and cello; the melody becomes bittersweet.]
Oh, sister, I admire you.
I really do, it's true.
You've got a strength I cannot find
In everything I do.
But I need a little gold.
I need a maid to help me dress.
I'm tired of being frightened
That tomorrow brings me less.
You have such a pretty baby.
You have a home that's warm and kind.
And I know you built it with your hands,
But I don't think I have your mind.
I'm going back to marry him.
The wedding's waiting there.
I need the gold, I need the comfort.
I need somebody to take care.
[MOVEMENT IV — WHAT MAMA DID]
[The waltz falters. Low cello, suspended piano chords, distant muted trumpet. A slow emotional build.]
There's something else I came to tell you.
Something I can hardly say.
I found out why your man was different
Before you turned and walked away.
Mama found a woman in the hollow,
A woman skilled in spells.
She paid her to bewitch your husband,
To make your little heaven hell.
That stranger in the orchard,
That confusion in his eyes—
It wasn't just another woman.
It was Mama's own design.
She wanted you to come back broken.
She wanted you to regret the day
You chose a man without a kingdom
And dared to walk away.
[MOVEMENT V — THE TRUTH BETWEEN US]
[Music nearly disappears. Intimate voice, piano, cello. The original garden motif returns in a minor key.]
Oh, sister...
All this time I thought I'd lost him.
All this time I blamed my heart.
I was standing in the winter
Never knowing who had torn us apart.
And now you tell me Mama did it.
Now I know what I must face.
But the truth has come to find me
In the home I built from grace.
You say you're going back for comfort.
I won't tell you you're unwise.
But don't mistake a golden promise
For a life that satisfies.
Go and choose the road you need to.
I won't make your choice for you.
But remember, sister, you are someone
Before a man can call you his.
[CODA — SISTERS]
[Soft jazz waltz, delicate strings and floating piano. A tender unresolved ending.]
You have such a pretty baby.
You have such a lovely home.
And I have a wedding waiting,
And a road I have to know.
We were daughters of one mother,
Raised to follow one design.
But the garden has a thousand paths,
And yours need not be mine.
You can have it in any order...
You can have it in any order...
*The piano returns to the opening melody, now shadowed by a low, ominous cello note.*
