Subject: Lyr Add: THE FAMILY TREE (Venice)
Well, we might as well post the lyrics to make it easy for everybody to see. I don't believe this song is in the database. The "Family Tree" we have is by Tom Chapin and friends. Sound clip of Venice's "Family Tree" is available here (click).

The Family Tree
Michael Lennon, John Vester,
Kipp Lennon, Mark Lennon

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
