Family Tree

歌詞

She still remembers the way her heart broke On the day that she watched him drive away How the tears fell, and how the wind blew And tore the branches from a tree near the driveway And she didn't think she'd make it through the day Sometimes all she could think to do was pray That God would tend the broken branches of this tree So as the years went by, her children still would see That their love is a circle, even with this missing piece If God would tend the broken branches of this family tree And as the years passed, that tree would hold strong Through every rainstorm it proved that it would stay Through all the teardrops and all the ball games And all the every other weekends when the kids would go away Because she knows that their daddy loves them too She prays for strength to face the changes that they've all been going through And God tends the broken branches of this tree He keeps His watchful eye on every tiny leaf And their love is a circle in ways that only God can see As He tends the broken branches of this family tree And in the end I don't know how it will all be sorted out All I know is that the circle won't be broken There will be hands to hold, and there will be love unfeigned And it will bridge the gaps between all the things we can't explain But in the meantime God will tend the broken branches of the trees And as eternity goes on this will be Because our love is a circle in this human family And God can mend the broken branches And He will tend the broken branches Because He loves all the branches Of His family tree
