Family Tree
Pat Orchard
Buried in the back of my mind
In shallow graves that's where you'll find
All the ghosts of wars long gone
Now they're up in arms and they soldier on
And I've voted for change
And I've prayed for deliverance
But after all these years
I haven't found any difference
For just like me
Yes just like me
You are the windfall
From a family tree
So i'm tracing roots of that lonely tree
Exposed by time for the world to see
As they crawled over stony ground
In search of something that they never found
And i look at you my brothers
And you seem the same
Skin tanned by age hearts
Bruised with the pain
For just like me
Yes just like me
You are the windfall
From a family tree
