Matt Wertz 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 going to be like your father was, and his father was?
Do you have to carry what they've handed down?

Oh, 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 going to find real love, and you're going to hold your kids.
You'll change the course of generations!

Oh, 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.

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.

Just like the seasons change, winter into spring, you're bringing new life to your family tree now.
Yes you are, you are!

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

Just like the seasons change, winter into spring, you're bringing new life to your family tree now.
