Mumford & Sons - Sister Lyrics






There's a chip on your shoulder girl
And by God it'll make you fall
If you let it take a part of your soul

I've seen the love in your brother's eyes
And the love in your mother's cries
Sister don't test the ones you love

Sister don't let go
Sister don't let go of us
Sister don't let go
Sister don't let go of us

Cause your roots will rot away
And your fruit, it won't grow
Your bark will wear thin, body hollow

I've seen the love in your brother's eyes
And the love in your mother's cries
Sister don't test the ones you love

Sister don't let go
Sister don't let go of us
Sister don't let go
Sister don't let go of us

Sister don't let go
Sister don't let go of us
Sister don't let go
Sister don't let go of us

Don't test the ones you love
It'll only tear us down
If you want to feel alive
Then learn to love your ground

But, don't test the ones you love
It'll only tear us down
If you want to feel alive
Then learn to love your ground

Well, love your ground

Sister don't let go
Sister don't let go of us
Sister don't let go
Sister don't let go of us

Sister don't let go
Sister don't let go of us
Sister don't let go
Sister don't let go of us

  4. E.... ....

    Is this a song actually released? I can’t seem to buy it or find it on Apple Music. Please help!

  5. A.... C....

    Stop talking about your problems. Yes, it's a good comforting song, but stop trying to get attention by talking about your dead sister. It's just cringy.

  6. K.... D....

    Dont see any of ma bros or sisters neither do my family so my song to them all

  7. M.... ....

    These comments are so sad, but it reveals how much love we have for eachother which is dope - I love y'all! (Even though this sounds cheesy)

  8. S.... T....

    your music will always make me happy

  9. G.... N....

    Margaery and Loras Tyrell

    This is a song that reminds you of the friends and family in your life and that in spite of how you feel you are not alone.

    Hi Casey5693, my short story "To Serve and To Protect" was recently published by Jumblebooks. I made a trailer for it using Mumford and Sons' "Broken Crown", and I would love it if you have a minute to stop by my channel and check it out. :)

  11. E.... 7....

    I don't have a sister, please don't yell at me, but this song is perfect for chara from Undertale.

    E.... 7....

    Les Walking Dr. Musical Lover I’m gonna yell at u

    my brother sent this to me, I suffer from a mental health issues. I get so down and want to leave this world. first time hearing this song.. my heart aches.. makes me realize I really do need to seek help.. before its to late

    E.... M....

    I hope you got the help you needed

  13. V.... F....

    This song speaks to the need for women to support men; build on humanism; break through the divide; celebrate & love our differences. I get so tired of the man bashing. <3

  14. L.... D....

    I have three sisters, two of them have moved out, the oldest calls us alot but the second oldest doesn't, she only calls when it's Christmas or when she needs stuff, I miss them alot 😢😢 and my younger sister say she wishes she lived in a different world, and she wants a different family, I wish we could all be a happy family 😢😢

  15. x.... ....

    Love and loyalty ....

  16. J.... ....

    I know this song isn't related to what it made me feel. I wish my sister didn't let go but I know we will see each other one day. I love you with all my heart Frances x

    J.... ....

    Find her.

  17. S.... ....

    My sister passed away nearly a year ago and this was the song I used to play for her. rest in peace Christine, I will love you forever. xx

  23. V.... ....

    Reminds me of Caddy Compson

    V.... ....

    caddy smelled like trees.

  24. D.... ....

    This song reminds me of my lil sister, and when I first it, I found out she was cutting and was extremely depressed. Now I'm listening to this song again after she told me that she's getting worse (not with cutting, but with depression and such), and I'm worried about someday losing her..

    D.... ....

    Don't worry I know that may be hard to do and I'm not sure how much this'll help but be there for her talk with her be strong for her I know it may be hard I don't blame you she is your sister but just be there and get her help (I'm terribly sorry if I come across as insensitive) she'll have good days and bad as long as she has people again I'm sorry if I come across as rash or anything

    D.... ....

    How is she now?

  25. C.... ....

    I love these guys!  They are one of the best bands of the modern age.  They will be remembered many years from now. 

  26. I.... Z....

    But don't test the ones you love
    It will only tear us down
    If you wanna feel alive
    Then learn to love your ground
    Oh love your ground

  27. A.... P....

    First time I heard this song, it's so powerful.

  28. A.... ....

    Such a beautiful song!! I've just done a cover of it, check it out if you want :)

    A.... ....

    Got a link to it? I can't find it.

  29. d.... ....

    I wanted to share my own story about M&S, perhaps to some of you who believe they aren't the greatest band on the face of the Earth. When I was 15, my family was going through some pretty rough times: my father and mother had gone through a nasty divorce and sadly-enough, my father had slumped into his old drinking habits again. I was suffering from teenage depression, the kind society forces onto you... I was listening to some screamo song about death and decay and how we're all damned, crazy shit like that. Then I saw this song, right on the side of the suggestions bar. Curious and intrigued, I clicked on it and what I heard was not music, but a gift from God himself. I listened to Sister crying, understanding, and accepting that I was never alone. My family was still by my side and I could do this. M&S has saved my life and it continually does, time after time. :)

  30. M.... S....

    itunes? anyone know if its there?

    M.... S....

    @Ant D that is retarded! thanks for the info tho

    M.... S....

    @isabel mariano i know! and no probs. its only because it was a single and was an exclusive to some american magazine that no longer exists :(

    M.... S....

    +Ant D in that case I'll just have to watch the freaking video over and over haha

    M.... S....

    @isabel mariano ye that's what i do haha

    M.... S....

    @Ant D and it seems to work awful well! lol

  31. M.... S....

    this is the song my best friend sings to me when he sees that i am sad :') so much sentimental value!!!!!!! beautiful

  32. C.... D....

    This was the second song I learned on the piano <3 That's how much I love it

    C.... D....

    What was the first song you learned? I love this song so much!

    C.... D....

    I learn Fair Thee Well, a cover they did, first. Lot's of inspiration from these guys <3 Me TOOO <3

    C.... D....

    @Cassia Docos where did you find the sheet music?

    C.... D....

    My mom and I found out the chords. I don't know much on sheet music other than what I know from violin. When it comes to playing the piano, I go by chords.

  33. E.... S....

    I would love to see them live, too

    E.... S....

    Emilia Sinkeviciute they were absolutely AMAZIN 😍😍😍😍😍

  34. J.... C....

    Such a beautiful song

  35. K.... B....

    SO MANY UNHEARD MUMFORD SONGS IT'S LIKE CHRISTMAS

  36. S.... c....

    This song has helped my soul heal through some pretty messed up times when I actually gave up and had no hope in my life. M&S for the soul! <3

  37. L.... S....

    thank you! that sounds like a good idea.
    :D

  38. M.... :....

    I am so upset that none of my friends understand, or share my obsession with M&S! Next time they tour, I want to get front row seats, but I don't know anyone who would be willing to pay that much, other than myself of course! :( My struggle is real.

    M.... :....

    Uh I understand that. I would go with you haha

  39. R.... ....

    Does anybody know which instrument is the "prominent" on in the instrumental part, starting at 1:55?
    I love this song and am wondering why it has never been published on a CD.

  40. M.... T....

    I don't know you, but I have seen Mumford twice in concert and those concerts were the most memorable experiences of my life. I must say that you should invest any amount of money to see this band live. They have changed my life on numerous occasions and they only get better. I know they are on hiatus right now especially after the whole scare with Ted's blood clot. But as soon as they return, go. I beg of you, experience this band for all they are worth.

  41. O.... P....

    Don't test the ones you love, it'll only tear us down

  42. A.... M....

    raelly love this people and their music

  43. M.... ....

    Replace the word sister for brother and the other way around and this song becomes exactly what I want my brother to know.

    It's been over 4 years and we're still waiting for you. We will always love you, no matter what. We miss you, I MISS YOU!

  44. S.... ....

    *hugs Riley for a moment* It*ll get better eventually!
    Just tell them what you wrote here. That it just happens to you... and that you fear to bother them even by your apologizing too much.

  45. L.... S....

    I am the problem child of the family.
    I don't mean to be but it just happens some how.
    wow.
    I'm actually really upset right now.
    I even bother them by apologizing to much.
    geez.
    I'm not having a good time right now. <:(

  46. S.... G....

    Mumford and Sons live is THE definition of utter, pure, and tranquil bliss. You'd never think you could be so high from the passionate harmony these four legends spew.

  47. B.... W....

    Saw them preform this song live and it was so beautiful i wanted to cry. They are amazing live.

  48. M.... M....

    There music has changed my life. I hope they never stop making music

  49. C.... H....

    It was mind blowing! I could've easily watched them play forever

  50. E.... G....

    It was Incredible I was there, the highlight of my life

  51. A.... S....

    I'd say I was about 4-5 rows of people back and a little to the right. So yeah, out of 20-30 thousand I think we had great spots. Such an experience. =)

  52. C.... H....

    I know right! Nothing will be able to compare now. And I was probably about 20ish feet away from the stage. So considering how many people were there, it was a pretty good spot. How bout you?

  53. A.... S....

    Today I've felt like I'm coming down from a high. That show was perfect. Where were you standing?

  54. C.... H....

    Yes! It was so intense. I don't think they realized how crazy Floridians could get so hopefully that means they'll be coming back!

  55. A.... S....

    Francis Field?! They were amazing! =D

  56. C.... H....

    JUST SAW THEM LIVE YESTERDAY! IT WAS LIFE CHANGING! <3

  57. A.... H....

    LOVE THİS SONG <3

  58. A.... R....

    This song reminds me much of someone I hold very dear... and where you are right now, I miss you everyday and I love you even more, sis. Can't wait till I see you again <3

  59. B.... C....

    depressed little girls... >.> no one cares about you guys

  60. E.... ....

    I love my sister <3

  61. d.... ....

    bless you...

  62. C.... W....

    This song saved my life, literally. They were dark times but I'm out on top now and smiling. I love Mumford and sons <3

  63. S.... H....

    this song is for me. i'm so glad i found it!!! :D

  64. A.... D....

    He is there; however, not everyone embraces or believes in him therefore thinking that they are alone.

  65. L.... R....

    My sister showed me this song saying it reminded her of me...
    choked.

  66. C.... A....

    I thought if god was there, people wouldn't feel alone?

  67. B.... B....

    This song is soooooo beautiful

  68. L.... R....

    omg M&S song I haven't heard! so excited!

  69. I.... ....

    *I also thought it was about a girl who was heading down a wrong path, and her family are trying to help her but she just pushes them away, and the song is saying to accept and love your family, and that way you'll rise up as a person and live a good life..

  70. A.... D....

    This song means so much to me... When I heard this for the first time, about 5months ago, I didn't know this song would mean so much to me today.. Phiew.

  71. M.... H....

    This song is so simple and beautiful. That's why it's so great.

  72. b.... ....

    Oh God this song, its so beautiful and it makes me second think about what I'm doing to my family.

  73. N.... M....

    Sister found her way home!!

  74. N.... M....

    cool tune..

  75. G.... B....

    @Arya2611

    I take it to be about a relationship in which the girl is pushing it, hence the "Don't test the ones you love." And she's doing all these things that she'll later regret and everyone is trying to stop her.

  76. G.... B....

    Beautiful song by an amazing band!

  77. N.... ....

    Such a well done and high quality video!

  78. a.... s....

    awww l want to meet them too but l think they will never come in Georgia : /

  79. J.... B....

    @arta2611 I always thought this song was about a family member in this case a sister probably going down the wrong path and they are trying to tell her to come back to them??

  80. A.... ....

    what does this song mean anyone?

  81. k.... ....

    If you want to feel alive, you must learn to love your ground. Amazing.

  82. B.... V....

    Very true, however, I LOVE these guys because they've got talent to go with that spirit. They don't rely on computers and electronics to create their music. Just listen to that energy, straight from the heart :)

  83. T.... ....

    Saw it last night<3 love them so much!

  84. L.... Q....

    saw them last night, sang a acappella it. was. amazing. <3

  85. T.... ....

    They sang this acappella last night, it was amazing!

  86. I.... ....

    I'm going to see them in July in Phoenix park I can't contain myself :3

  87. W.... ....

    This guys are going to be Legendary. Everytime i listen to one of their songs it takes me to a different world, where my problems disapear and it's only me with the most beautiful sound on my ears

  88. 1.... ....

    this song gives me sansa stark feelings

  89. C.... S....

    I've got goosebumps all over my arms.

  90. t.... ....

    I wish they had sang this when I saw them live... Not enough people know about this song, but I guess that's what makes it seem special (other than the raw talent behind it!)

  91. m.... b....

    New favorite song!!!!!!!!!!!!

  92. m.... b....

    i agree with you and lionsaremyfavorite

  93. m.... ....

    I like them because they have great songs, nothing personal...

  94. B.... ....

    Wat this song is just amazing and beautiful so listen to the Song

  95. d.... ....

    I truly believe that these guys are speaking to all of us who believe that we're alone. Those of us who push our families away, because we have that belief that we are utterly alone. We have all been in that position in our lives, so for those of you who are, listen to this song, and believe that your family, your God, and friends will never forget you or stop loving you. Don't let go of hope, my friends!

  96. B.... ....

    U said it it is amazing
