Matthew West lyrics : "Family Tree"

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 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've 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

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


'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

Oh, this will be your legacy

This is 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


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