Family Tree Lyrics


You didn't ask for this
Nobody ever would
Caught in the middle of this dysfunction
It's your sad reality
It's your messed up family tree
And all your left with all these questionsAre you gonna be like your father was and his father was?
Do you have to carry what they've handed down?No, this is not your legacy
This is not your destiny
Yesterday does not define you
No, this is not your legacy
This is not your meant to be
I can break the chains that bind youI have a dream for you
It's better than where you've been
It's bigger than your imagination
You're gonna find real love
And you're gonna hold your kids
You'll change the course of generationsNo, this is not your legacy
This is not your destiny

Yesterday does not define you
No, this is not your legacy
This is not your meant to be
I can break the chains that bind you'Cause you're my child
You're my chosen
You are loved
You are lovedAnd I will restore
All that was broken
You are loved
You are lovedAnd just like the seasons change
Winter into spring
You're bringing new life to your family tree now
Yes you are
You areOh, this will be your legacy
This will be your destiny
Yesterday did not define you
Oh, this will be your legacy
This will be your meant to be
I can break the chains that bind youAnd just like the seasons change
Winter into spring
You're bringing new life to your family tree now
