Don't wash your hands of me
I am your family
Of all the moments in your life this could be the one
It could be your destiny
So don't wash your hands of me
When you look in my young brown eyes
You can see for a hundred years
I don't need you to feel my pain
I just need you to know my name
So don't wash your hands of me
I am your family
I'll leave your kiss here upon my face
This is how you have shown me grace
Walked with me in these streets of dirt
Through the poverty, through the hurt
Don't wash your hands of me
I am your family
I am innocence and I am truth
I am chasing the car as you leave
I have shown you what I could not say
This is my prayer, if you must go away
Don't wash your hands of me
We are your family
Of all the moments in your life
