Matthew West - Family Tree Lyrics

You didn't ask for this Nobody ever would Caught in the middle of this dysfunction It's your sad reality It's your messed up family tree And now you're left with all these questions

Are you gonna be like your father was and his father was? Do you have to carry what they've handed down?

No, this is not your legacy This is not your destiny Yesterday does not define you No, this is not your legacy This is not your meant to be I can break the chains that bind you

I have a dream for you It's better than where you've been It's bigger than your imagination You're gonna find real love And you're gonna hold your kids You'll change the course of generations

No, this is not your legacy This is not your destiny Yesterday does not define you No, this is not your legacy This is not your meant to be I can break the chains that bind you

Cause you're my child You're my chosen You are loved You are loved

And I will restore All that was broken You are loved You are loved

And just like the seasons change Winter into spring You're bringing new life to your family tree now Yes you are You are

Ooh, this will be your legacy This will be your destiny Yesterday did not define you Ooh, this will be your legacy This will be your meant to be I can break the chains that bind you

And just like the seasons change Winter into spring You're bringing new life to your family tree now
