Blood

These words are not my own
They've been lent to me
On long term loan
But the messages still flow
From there blood to my blood
The weaknesses the strength
The tendency to co depend
The default thoughts
Of self doubt sent
From there blood to my blood
But if those seeds
Were never sown
How do I expect to have
Ever grown into this body I'm
Inside for they're
The reason it's alive
And we can't choose what we
Are given but we can choose
What we do with what
We've got
Heritage runs through us all
Like a river but that doesn't
Mean we will sink when the
River gets blocked
So find your own rocks
Build your own bridge and
Make your own way across
But just remember where you
Came from and you'll never
Find yourself lost
No i was not here
When you were here
So I ask myself
Why the love runs clear
From your blood
To my blood
And I am blessed to walk
This planet and I am grateful
For the path you chose
I may worship the ground on
Which you used to walk but
That doesn't mean that's the
Same direction I will go
Throw caution to the wind
Draw your own map and make your own footprints
And just remember where you came from and that how you
Grow will depend upon the Seeds you sow
These words are not my own
They've been lent to me
On long term loan
But the messages still flow
From there blood to my blood
