Family Tree

You came back to get me
In the desert where I broke down
Stuck in the heat of my father’s fire
The sun burned away our clothes
I stood there before you
I heard you clearly without a sound
Teach me how to listen
I am learning how to hear
Catch me I am falling
From the family tree
You know I couldn’t see you
Had to shatter every mirror
Catch me I am falling
From the family tree
The lines of your hands
Your face
Your eyes
Draw a picture in my spinning head
The lines of your body
Join together to form me
Come to join me in this desert bed
Teach me how to listen
I am learning how to hear
Catch me I am falling
From the family tree
You know I couldn’t see you
Had to shatter every mirror
Catch me I am falling
From the family tree
Standing under the family tree
I touched your crying face
All of your tears began to freeze
And we left them there as power
For the spirit of the indian and the owl
Teach me how to listen
I am learning how to hear
Catch me I am falling
From the family tree
You know I couldn’t see you
Had to shatter every mirror
Catch me I am falling
From the family tree
Teach me how to listen
I wanna know how to hear
Catch me I am falling
From the family tree
