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 Tracing the twisted roots of our family tree I stayed strong like you did I moved on like you did Now 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 It made a puppet out of me 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 Now I wound up all alone like you did If I don't learn to bend I know I'm going to 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 if the kid to do better than our parents did So I'll stay strong like you did And I'll love 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
