Hey little brother
Hey sis, how you doing?
Fine, what's going on with you?
Oh, nothing much

Got your message from earlier this afternoon
And something just didn't sound right
And so I'm calling you back to check on you
How you holdin' up?
Oh, everything is fine
You know I don't believe you

Whatcha saying? You think I'm lying?
I'm not saying it, but I know you
How you know me?
'Cause you're my brother and therefore I can tell
When something is troubling you

Okay, okay, I give you that
Nothing's wrong, I take that back
There is something on my mind
But sis, I don't want to waste your time

But I done told you time and time again
Whatever you're going through
You can come and talk to me
And I will say a prayer with you

But I done prayed and prayed night and day
I still can't seem to find my way

Rob, that ain't nothing but the Devil telling you
That you're washed up and you're through
But sister's here to let you know
Boy, you're gonna make it through

Sister, do you really believe that I can rise again
Yes and not only that, Rob, God will forgive you for your sins
Can you tell me what to do?
Well, first you gotta believe the truth
Sometimes it's hard to believe in Him
That's okay because He believes in you

The winds, the rain, the storm
The weapons that are formed against us
(I will survive)
The trying times, the sleepless nights
Just know that faith is with us
(And I believe, yeah)

Through all of the hills and valleys roamed
That we must come to
Walk side by side, follow the light
I know we'll make it through
(We'll make it through, yeah)

So, so what you're saying is believe a little more?
Yes, 'cause faith is the key that opens up the door
What you're saying to me, it's hard to receive
Especially when trouble follows me
When we're keeping it real, Robert sometimes
Trouble can follow where you lead

Yes sister, I know sometimes, but I
Just wait, let me make a phone call
To who?
A prayer buddy of mine
She can help you tear down your walls

I don't want nobody in my business
She's a friend
And besides you need this
You know how church folk can be
Boy I'm your sister, trust in me
Mmm
Now hold on

Maybe she's gone
No
Maybe we ought to just try

Shh shh, hello, is Kim there?
Yes, I think she's around here somewhere
Hold on
Now you just let me do the talking
Mmm hmm

Hello?
Hey girl, how you doing?
Hey, Kelly
My little brother's on the line and needed advice from you
Ooh, what can I do for you?
Hello?
Go ahead Rob, she's talking to you

Oh, well, I know you must be very busy
So I'm not going to mess around, nah
Just telling my sister how my life is upside down
And I don't know whether I'm going left or right half the time
Sometimes think I'm gonna lose my mind, you feel me?

Mmm hmm, similar to what I used to go through
Really?
Yes, and sometimes I still do
Yeah?
See it doesn't matter who you are
Or where you're from
If you struggle, God will use you

Amen sister, what you're saying is so true
Rob, are you there?
Yes, I'm just listening to the both of you
It's so easy to say but not so easy to do
Yes, but if you stand the truth, it will free you

Oh
Just stand strong
Stand strong
With your head held high
With your head held high
Said it wont be long
In time He will provide
Will He?
Yes, He will

You just stay in the race
Just stay in the race
And keep on running
And down to the end
For your day is coming

The winds, the rain, the storm
The weapons that are formed against us
The trying times, the sleepless nights
Just know that faith is with us

Through all of the hills and valleys roamed
That we must come to
Walk side by side, follow the light
I know we'll make it through

He'll give you peace
In the midst of your storm
Sometimes I feel like it's too late for me
But He'll never leave you
No way, you just gotta hang on
Hang on

Robert, stay in prayer, keep your head
God will do just what He said
Finally I think I get it
Yes, that's it, that's the spirit

The winds, the rain, the storm
The weapons that are formed against us
The trying times, the sleepless nights
Just know that faith is with us

Through all of the hills and valleys roamed
That we must come to
Walk side by side, follow the light
I know we'll make it through

The winds, the rain, the storm
The weapons that are formed against us
The trying times, the sleepless nights
Just know that faith is with us

Through all of the hills and valleys roamed
That we must come to
Walk side by side, follow the light
I know we'll make it through

The winds, the rain, the storm
The weapons that are formed against us
The trying times, the sleepless nights

Hey little brother
Hey sis, how you doing?
