Branches in the wind

Still standing here together

One more storm to weather

We'll get through it yet

So we're gathered here

Holding on to each other

To let go of another one we won't forget

Now as we say goodbye

To one of our own

We may be lonely

But we're not alone

Though the leaves will fall

And the tears will flow

May it always comfort us to know

The family tree will always grow

Father down to son, mother to daughter

Thicker than water, we are made of this

From the Earth we rise

To the Earth returning

We'll keep a candle burning

For the ones we'll miss

And when we say goodbye

To one of our own

We may be lonely

But we're not alone

Though the leaves will fall

And the tears will flow

May it always comfort us to know

The family tree will always grow

It's stronger than the wind can blow

The family tree will always grow
