Текст Priscilla Renea – Family Tree
Текст:
I have a mother, I have a pa
We look pretty in that picture on the wall
I love my brothers and my sisters too
Lord forgive them for they know not what they do
My mama never taught me bout the world ’cause the world turned her inside out
My pa was the ?
kept us all locked in the house
My brothers and my sisters needed love so I grew, let come to me
Till I became the roots and fruits and the branches of my family tree
I’m coming ?
and my heart froze like winter
And my splinter ?
Laid forgotten till they blossomed
And they were hangin’ out on a limb
All those hopes and dreams just blowing in the wind
All my aunties and my uncles too
Said she’ll be back and pregnant on her own in a month or two
My mama kicked me out of the house on the day I turned 17
My daddy called me up and told me boxes of my stuff were sitting on the street
Felt like I had the world on my shoulders but really it was at my feet
So I became the roots and fruits and the branches of my family tree
I’m coming ?
and my heart froze like winter
And my splinter ?
Laid forgotten till they blossomed
My family tree I have watered
Till it’s outgrown my garden
How these years bleeding into
I’m at peace ?
My family tree…
My family tree
