The Family Tree

Branches in the wind
still standing here together
one more storm to weather
we'll get thru it yet

So we're gathered here
holding onto each other
to let go of another one
we won't forget

Now as we say goodbye
to one of our own
we may lonely
but we're not alone
Though the leaves will fall
and the tears will flow
may it always comfort us to
know that the family tree
will always grow

Father down to son
mother to daughter
thicker than water
we are made of this
from the earth we rise
to the earth returning
we'll keep a candle burning
for the ones we'll miss

And when we say goodbye
to one of our own
we may be lonely
but we're never alone
Though the leaves will fall
and the tears will flow
may it always comfort us
to know the family tree
will always grow
Stronger than the wind can blow
the family tree will always grow
