Lyrics

Family Tree
We share the same breath
We live in unity
Beyond all borders
We are community
We dance together
Distant relations
We all descend from the same Family Tree, you and me
When I look in your eyes I see
So much inside of you
Beyond the things society tells me should matter to me
We are connected you and I from a common source
One that I could never divorce myself from
We shine with the light of the sun
We share the same breath
We live in unity
Beyond all borders
We are community
We dance together
Distant relations
We all descend from the same Family Tree, you and me
When we let go of our preconceptions and the things we’ve been taught
Understanding that cannot be bought
This is our inheritance
We have so much more in common than what separates us
This idea of race is, it’s so outdated
What we see on the television escalates our fears
If we buy into what we hear there is no resolution
But if we trust our own eyes and our intuition,
It’s a different position
You and I, you and I, we are solutions
We share the same breath
We live in unity
Beyond all borders
We are community
We dance together
Distant relations
We all descend from the same Family Tree, you and me
With a light from a distant source
Open eyes and a strong discourse
Listening to God above
You and I can express our love
If we let our defenses fall and we simply embrace it all
All the roots of the tree entwine
All that’s left is a love divine
We share the same breath
We live in unity
Beyond all borders
We are community
We dance together
Distant relations
We all descend from the same Family Tree, you and me
