Family Tree

The family car, we barely fit

Christmas time had come again

Bundled up to fight the freeze

Picking out the family tree

We'd decorate with clumsy hands

In hope that

Santa comes again

And in the morning, wake to see

Gifts beneath the family tree

And I don't know where

I'm goingBut

I do know who

I'll beThese memories and names, like leaves, all hang on us

The family tree

We're older now, we all have changed

But we all laugh at the same old things

We'll spend the night with memories

Gathered 'round the family tree

And I don't know where

I'm goingBut

I do know who

I'll beThese memories and names, like leaves, all hang on us

We're so much more than blood, we're more than names

We're bound by bonds that only

God sustains

But this time of year we all gather here

And I always know

I'm homeThere are voices now where silence was

The subtle signs of growing up

Where one is born, another leaves

Branches on the family tree
