Don't wash your hands of me
I am your family
Of all the moments in your life this could be the one

It could be your destiny
So don't wash your hands of me
When you look in my young brown eyes

You can see for a hundred years
I don't need you to feel my pain
I just need you to know my name

So don't wash your hands of me
I am your family
I'll leave your kiss here upon my face

This is how you have shown me grace
Walked with me in these streets of dirt
Through the poverty, through the hurt

Don't wash your hands of me
I am your family
I am innocence and I am truth

I am chasing the car as you leave
I have shown you what I could not say
This is my prayer, if you must go away

Don't wash your hands of me
We are your family
Of all the moments in your life
