jewel - family tree lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
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
and i’ve loved you through this tangled legacy
tracing the twisted roots of our family tree

[chorus]
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

[verse 2]
lover, i must forgive you
i confused you
with what i couldn’t see
inside of me
dark things pulling
not evolving
made a puppet out of me
and you came with your own history
both caught in the branches of our family tree

[chorus]
but i stayed strong like you did
i moved on like you did
and i wound up all alone like you did
if i don’t learn to bend, i know i’m going to break
just like you did

[bridge]
i love you but i need to look at who we’ve been
take the fruit but choose the seeds i scatter in the wind
that’s the job of the kid
to do better than our parents did

[chorus]
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 won’t break
and you can bet i’ll teach my child that love will always find a way
just like you did
