Bloodstream

I have my grandmother's sadness cnd we share the same face I have my mother's anxieties We all share the same pain Passed down through bloodstreams Passed down the love Passed down the traumas But also the strength of never giving up cnd I come from a line of women Who have been through so much pain cnd I come from a line of women Who are stronger than they say cnd they keep going on They keep going on Getting through through their days cnd I honor them By going on Getting through my days cnd I see what's missing from my mother's eyes Her sister taken too soon from this life cnd I may only have fuzzy memories cnd I never got to say goodbye But I feel her around in the air sometimes I feel all her light cnd I come from a line of women Who have been through so much pain cnd I come from a line of women Who are stronger than they say cnd they keep going on They keep going on Getting through through their days cnd I honor them By going on Getting through my days Your bloodstream is my bloodstream Red river water flowing through me Your bloodstream is my bloodstream Family tree Our roots run deep Your bloodstream is my bloodstream Red river water flowing through me Your bloodstream is my bloodstream Family tree Our roots run deep Your love lives on and on cnd on through me You live on and on cnd on and on
