That's what my sister says

And during that day

Came spring and summer

It was you I found

The same flesh and blood

(My flesh) It was you that I found

One just like me, same flesh and blood

(My flesh) It was you that I found
(Repetition of the idea in line 8)
(My blood) It was you that I met

A hard place, this world
Describing the world as a challenging and difficult place.
And nowhere else

Does one make so many mistakes

What's done is done

Done and gone

The same flesh and blood
Reiterating the shared heritage between the speaker and the addressed person, emphasizing unity.
