Bloodlines Lyrics

Put my faith in the secure sacred bond we share

There's a difference between family and blood

When you can prove to yourself that there's no falling out when it's hard

When you can prove to yourself that there's no falling out when it's hard

I saw that hardest part watched my parents work their humble hands to the bone

To keep a roof over our heads and make that old brick house a home

I looked at myself inside

To see where I'd divide

I took both of your blood lines

They run even in mine

I've got my father's height and his stoic yet compassionate side

I see my mother's hair and her eyes

Every morning when I look in the mirror

Sifting through the lineage of my family tree

I measure all the markers that have influence on me

Digging up the roots I found

The more you trace back to yourself

You set aside your differences

The differences you see

Put my faith in the secure sacred bond we share

There's a difference between family and blood

When you can prove to yourself that there's no falling out when it's hard

I saw that hardest part

Watched my parents work their humble hands to the bone

To keep a roof over our heads and make that old brick house a home

They sacrificed their days

Given up their hopes and dreams to provide

The nurture they've given to us

I survive their sacrifice

Their blood runs deep in mine

I climbed my family tree

The branches caress my feet

I view the ground beneath

And traced the roots to me

Consumed by canopy

I close my eyes and see

Myself as a future seed

For my own family tree

It took some time to embrace my bloodline

And I can only hope to leave

As great impression as my parents have left on me

It took some time to embrace my bloodline

And I can only hope to leave

As great impression as my parents have left on me
