In this tree, we hold love

In this tree, we hold love

The roots come from the ages that we sometimes forget
We shelter ourselves with love instead of getting the leaves wet
As we grow on the branches we forgive rather than regret
Even at night in front of the sun we're a dancing silhouette

We choose our friends but not family
We keep our life in the family tree
No matter what, blood is our reality
We hold our love in the family tree

We hope
We love
We struggle
Sometimes we even pray
But never ever do we hate

We smile
We climb
We stumble
Sometimes we even fight
But we wipe away our cries

As the wind blows we stand tall, we might get disheartened but never fall
We cradle each and every one, with trials and tribulations we grow strong
In family we are found
So in love let's branch out
Water us with what's important
Never let this tree be dehydrated
We will always be together
We'll never become strange faces
So believe in this...

We choose our friends but not family
We keep our life in the family tree
No matter what, blood is our reality
We hold our love in the family tree
We hold our love...
