Family tree




Mama, I see your face now in the mirror
It's getting clearer
Daddy, all those things I said I wouldn't do
I've been drawn to 'cause I looked up to you
But I've loved you through this tangled legacy
Tracing twisted roots on our family tree

I stayed strong like you did
I moved on like you did
And I wound up tough as stone like you did
If I don't learn to bend I know I'm going to break
Like you did

Lover, I must forgive you
I confused you for what I couldn't see inside of me
Dark things pulling, not evolving
Made a puppet out of me
You came with your tangled history
Both caught on the branches of our family tree

I stayed strong like you did
I moved on like you did
I wound up all alone like you did
But I'm learning to bend so I won't break like you did

I love you but I need to look at who we've been
Take the fruit but choose the seeds that scatter on the wind
That's the job of the kid to do better than our parents did

So I'll stay strong like you did
And I'll move on like you did
But I won't hide from the truth like you did
I'm learning to bend so I don't break
And you can bet I'll teach my kid that love will always find its way just like you did

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
