Since we were young, you walked ahead
Making sure the path was clear
Through every comforting word you said
You chased away the childhood fear
You’ve watched out for me my whole life
A steady hand when things got rough
Through all the shadows and the strife
Your caring heart was always enough
ChorusYou're the shield when the rain comes falling
You're the voice when the dark is calling
Sister, you're the one who makes the heavy skies clear
And I finally see it, beautiful and bright
The comfort that guides me into the light
Love's true meaning is knowing, knowing, knowing you are near
Verse 2I know the world can rush so fast
But your patience never fades away
You build me up, you understand
The things I don't know how to say
So supportive, steady, and kind
A protective wall around my soul
The truest friend I'll ever find
The quiet grace that makes me whole
ChorusYou're the shield when the rain comes falling
You're the voice when the dark is calling
Sister, you're the one who makes the heavy skies clear
And I finally see it, beautiful and bright
The comfort that guides me into the light
Love's true meaning is knowing, knowing, knowing you are near
BridgeThrough every stumble, every fall
You were waiting right beside me
You never let me lose it all
Your gentle spirit always guides me
I look back on the years we've spent
And count every blessing you were sent
Final ChorusYou're the shield when the rain comes falling
You're the voice when the dark is calling
Sister, you're the one who makes the heavy skies clear
And I finally see it, beautiful and bright
The comfort that guides me into the light
Love's true meaning is knowing, knowing, knowing you are near
Yes, love's true meaning is knowing, knowing, knowing you are near
