Family Tree

The family car, we barely fit
Christmas time had come again
Bundled up to fight the freeze
Picking out the family tree
Wed decorate with clumsy hands
In hope that
Santa comes again
And in the morning, wake to see
Gifts beneath the family tree
And I dont know where
Im goingBut
I do know who
Ill beThese memories and names, like leaves, all hang on us
The family tree
Were older now, we all have changed
But we all laugh at the same old things
Well spend the night with memories
Gathered round the family tree
And I dont know where
Im goingBut
I do know who
Ill beThese memories and names, like leaves, all hang on us
Were so much more than blood, were more than names
Were bound by bonds that only
God sustains
But this time of year we all gather here
And I always know
Im homeThere are voices now where silence was
The subtle signs of growing up
Where one is born, another leaves
Branches on the family tree
