I am not my family tree These are different leaves, you know There are miles and miles between My roots and what I'm tryin' to grow I am not the slave they sold Nor am I royalty I've worn them both The finest coat, And rags that barely covered me But there's mercy in the soil Mercy in the sun Learnin' to forgive What cannot be undone What was meant to harm Can't harm you in the end Stepped out on a limb I thought my break But love said, It will only bend I am not my past mistakes Labeled by some place in time Nor am I a trophy case Tryin' to maintain my shine I have dreamed a thousand dreams Watch a grain in famine grow I am not my family tree I have branches of my own But there's mercy in the soil Learnin' to forgive What cannot be undone And what was meant to harm Can't harm you in the end Stepped out on a limb I thought might break But love said, It will only bend Oh, Does fate resign us too? Find shelter for our wounds Beneath the battered roof of broken dreams Oh, But I will choose to stand In the shadow of Your hand And see what grows when grace has sown the seed Oh, oh, oh These are different leaves, you know Oh, oh, oh But there's mercy in the soil Mercy in the sun Learnin' to forgive What cannot be undone And what was meant to harm Can't harm you in the end Stepped out on a limb I thought might break But love said, It will only bend It will only bend It will only bend Oh, It will only bend
