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 Songtexte 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 Aus Songtexte Mania
