"Family Tree"

 "Family Tree"

Matthew West

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

Now you're left with all these questions

Are 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 you legacy

This is not your meant to be

I can break the chains that bind you

I 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 generation

No, this is not your legacy

This is not your destiny 

Yesterday does not define you

No, this is not you 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 loved

And I will restore all that was broken

You are loved, you are loved

And just like the seasons change

Winter into spring

You're bringing new life to your family tree now

Yes you are, you are

Oh, 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 you

And just like the seasons change

Winter into spring

You're bringing new life to your family tree now
