Family Tree

You came back to get me

In the desert where I broke down

Stuck in the heat of my father's fire

The sun burned away our clothes

I stood there before you

I heard you clearly without a sound

Teach me how to listen

I am learning how to hear

Catch me I am falling

From the family tree

You know I couldn't see you

Had to shatter every mirror

Catch me I am falling

From the family tree

The lines of your hands

Your face

Your eyes

Draw a picture in my spinning head

The lines of your body

Join together to form me

Come to join me in this desert bed

Teach me how to listen

I am learning how to hear

Catch me I am falling

From the family tree

You know I couldn't see you

Had to shatter every mirror

Catch me I am falling

From the family tree

Standing under the family tree

I touched your crying face

All of your tears began to freeze

And we left them there as power

For the spirit of the indian and the owl

Teach me how to listen

I am learning how to hear

Catch me I am falling

From the family tree

You know I couldn't see you

Had to shatter every mirror

Catch me I am falling

From the family tree
