The Family Tree (Scuba’s Song) – lyrics
We are here together… one big family
Because a leaf has fallen… from our family tree
We are here today to celebrate… the joy that was her life
And say goodbye to a sister, a mother, and a wife
But our family tree will stand tall
It was built on love it just won’t fall
There are new branches sprouting every day
When we lose a leaf it’s not the end
It just lets more sunshine in
Our family tree gets stronger in every way
Mama used to tell us… to live life everyday
Take care of each other, and love one another… it’s the family way
But when the good Lord took her… so she could be with Dad again
We said goodbye, but we knew inside, she was glad to be with him
But our family tree will stand tall
It was built on love it just won’t fall
There are new branches sprouting every day
When we lose a leaf it’s not the end
It just lets more sunshine in
Our family tree gets stronger in every way
But our family tree will stand tall
It was built on love it just won’t fall
There are new branches sprouting every day
When we lose a leaf it’s not the end
It just lets more sunshine in
Our family tree gets stronger in every way
When we lose a leaf it’s not the end
It just lets more sunshine in
Our family tree gets stronger in every way
