Family Tree Songtext
von Michael James

Me in my tux
You in your white gown
In front of the church
Scared as could be
We made some vows there at the altar
And planted the seed for our family tree

With lots of hard work and determination
Down on our knees
We′ve rolled up our sleeves
With TLC and plenty of perspiration
We've tended to our family tree

Faith′s kept us anchored when dark clouds gathered
Hope's been our stronghold 'cause our roots run deep
Love′s been our shelter when storms have threatened
Life is sweet under this family tree


We watch our kids swing in its branches
It′s sturdy enough so they're not afraid
Still got to work to make it grow stronger
One day they′ll need to rest in its shade
There'll be a time they carve hearts and arrows
One day they′ll start their own families
They'll need some wood to build a home with
We′ll give them some from our family tree

Faith's kept us anchored when dark clouds gathered
Hope's been our stronghold ′cause our roots run deep
Love′s been our shelter when storms have threatened
Life is sweet under this family tree
Life is sweet under this family tree

Faith's kept us anchored when dark clouds gathered
Hope′s been our stronghold 'cause our roots run deep
Love′s been our shelter when storms have threatened
Life is sweet under this family tree
Life is sweet under this family tree

This family tree
