Mama, I see your face now in the mirror It's getting clearer Daddy, all those things I said I wouldn't do I've been drawn to 'cause I looked up to you And I've loved you through this tangled legacy Tracing the twisted roots of our family tree I stayed strong like you did I moved on like you did And I wound up tough as stone like you did If I don't learn to bend I know I'm going to break Like you did Lover, I must forgive you I confused you with what I couldn't see inside of me Dark things pulling, not evolving It made a puppet out of me And you came with your own history Both caught in the branches of our family tree I stayed strong like you did I moved on like you did And I wound up all alone like you did If I don't learn to bend, I know I'm gonna break just like you did I love you but I need to look at who we've been Take the fruit but choose the seeds I scatter in the wind That's the job of the kid: to do better than our parents did So I'll stay strong like you did And I'll move on like you did But I won't hide from the truth like you did I'm learning to bend so I won't break And you can bet I'll teach my child that love will always find a way just like you did
