Jewel - Family Tree Lyrics
Mama, I see your face now in the mirror
It's getting clearer
Daddy, all those things I said I wouldn't do
I've been drawn to 'cause I looked up to you
And I've loved you through this tangled legacy
I stayed strong like you did
I moved on like you did
And I wound up tough as stone like you did
If I don't learn to bend I know I'm going to break
Like you did
Lover, I must forgive you
I confused you with what I couldn't see inside of me
Dark things pulling, not evolving
And you came with your own history
Both caught in the branches of our family tree
I stayed strong like you did
I moved on like you did
And I wound up all alone like you did
If I don't learn to bend, I know I'm gonna break just like you did
I love you but I need to look at who we've been
Take the fruit but choose the seeds I scatter in the wind
That's the job of the kid: to do better than our parents did
So I'll stay strong like you did
And I'll move on like you did
But I won't hide from the truth like you did
I'm learning to bend so I won't break
And you can bet I'll teach my child
that love will always find a way just like you did

"And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving; "
~Khalil Gibran on Love

I'm glad I found your site here, Jewel. Every question I asked seemed to be answered, every answer I made there seemed already an account. I'll 'stop by' from time to time and see how you and your family are doing.
Thank you and God Bless.
Fantastic song! Thank you!
Anyone know where to find the tabs/chords for this amazing song?

Curious to know if you ever found the sheet music? The song is so beautiful and I cannot find the music for it anywhere I’ve been looking for months
