The Family Tree - Venice

Branches in the wind\nStill standing here together\nOne more storm to weather\nWe’ll get through it yet\nSo we’re gathered here\nHolding on to each other\nTo let go of another one we won’t forget\nNow as we say goodbye\nTo one of our own\nWe may be lonely\nBut we’re not alone\nThough the leaves will fall\nAnd the tears will flow\nMay it always comfort us to know\nThe family tree will always grow\nFather down to son, mother to daughter\nThicker than water, we are made of this\nFrom the Earth we rise\nTo the Earth returning\nWe’ll keep a candle burning\nFor the ones we’ll miss\nAnd when we say goodbye\nTo one of our own\nWe may be lonely\nBut we’re not alone\nThough the leaves will fall\nAnd the tears will flow\nMay it always comfort us to know\nThe family tree will always grow\nIt’s stronger than the wind can blow\nThe family tree will always grow
