Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
You were my only sister, a few years up the road
Dirt-streaked glove on Sunday, a promise you showed
You taught me how to swing and how to stand my ground
Hold my breath through the count while the old radio played loud
Porch light on the evenings when the world felt small
You were the steady shadow that would catch me if I fall
[Pre-Chorus]
But time is a quiet river that pulls and doesn't show
Twenty-one years slipped downstream and left a space I know
[Chorus]
Jena, my big sister, river wide between our hands
Jena, my big sister, I still hear your voice in every plan
Miles of silence can't erase what grew
No distance can take the heart I owe to you
Jena, my big sister, I keep calling your name
[Verse 2]
We grew up with cousins on the porch and backyard swings
Family plates and secret jokes, scraped knees and paper rings
Your boys and my girls never shared the same old swing
Kimberly still misses you, Melissa never knew that spring
Mom and Dad would shake their heads at the space we let grow wide
Those childhood photos fade but your laugh still fills the side
[Pre-Chorus]
I talk about you in the grocery line and on the radio
Memories pop like vinyl—soft and clear and slow
[Chorus]
Jena, my big sister, river wide between our hands
Jena, my big sister, I still carry your old plans
Miles of silence can't erase what grew
No distance can take the heart I owe to you
Jena, my big sister, I keep calling your name
[Verse 3]
You were my rock when I lost Nicole, my stead in the night
You pulled me through the darkness and taught me to find light
I remember one of the last things you said to me: you smiled and sighed,
"You look so much like Mom," and held my hand beside
You taught me to stand strong, taught me how to fight
You showed me how to keep my feet when the world wouldn't make it right
[Bridge]
If I could drive those miles and bring back all the years
I'd fold them into songs and two-step through our fears
An accordion and a porch light, a small town front porch swing
I'd trade the silence for your laughter, let our old radio sing
[Final Chorus]
Jena, my big sister, river wide but not the end
Jena, my big sister, I'm still reaching out, my friend
No matter how you feel, I love you, I'm proud of you
I promise I'll keep calling until the gap feels new
Jena, my big sister, I'm coming home again
[Outro]
Forever and always, your little sister, Michelle
