|
Grab your heart we need to leave |
|
There's no time to cry or grieve |
|
For the fallen family tree |
|
Rise above the flooding plain |
|
Crouching low to duck the flame |
|
Generations against the grain |
|
Up in smoke and down the drain |
|
If the fire, if the flood |
|
Burns the tree and thins the blood |
|
If your tears don't want to dry |
|
I can help you cry |
|
Through the night |
|
Through the night and day |
|
I can't take your pain away |
|
But I can help you cry |
|
We'll cut the branch from this tree |
|
Carve a place for you and me |
|
A wooden seat that we can string |
|
From a branch where we can swing |
|
We'll take this block of wood |
|
Carve it down and sand it good |
|
When finished it will be |
|
A souvenir of the family tree |
|
And if the fire, if the flood |
|
Burns the tree and thins the blood |
|
If your tears don't wanna dry |
|
I can help you cry |
|
Through the night |
|
Through the night and day |
|
I can't take your pain away |
|
But I can help you cry |
|
Through the night |
|
Through the night and day |
|
I can't take your pain away |
|
I can try but |
|
God help me please |
|
Come save the family tree |
|
My friends I broke them all |
|
When falling off the wall |
|
In the ash I found an ember |
|
Something warm to help remember |
|
A block of wood that used to be |
|
A strong tall family tree |
|
A strong tall family tree |
|
Blowing in the breeze |
|
Cry through the night |
|
Through the night and day |
|
I can't take your pain away |
|
But I can help you cry |
|
Through the night |
|
Through the night and day |
|
I can't take your pain away |
|
But I can help you cry |
