"i'll like a drop of rainwater refracting light...
and a dash of illumination across the endless dark too."

what awaits an existentialist at the end of her journey?
what makes of those legacies she fought so hard to leave behind?
what happens when the big picture never gets any clearer even though she tried so hard to see it?
what happens if she found the answers she was always looking for but gets lost thereafter not knowing what to seek next?
because no matter what she seeks, both the wait and the getting of an answer wears her down?

the wide ocean she once belonged,
she longs for it because its deep like there's no end to it.
she longs for it because she can hide.
perhaps at the end of the day,
she only longs for it so that she may keep on lying to herself.
where is she?
will she only ever be found when she stops looking?

where is she?
she's lost me.
and i, her.
Family Tree by Matthew West

You didn't ask for this
Nobody ever would
Caught in the middle of this dysfunction
It's your sad reality
It's your messed up family tree
And all your left with all these questions

Are you gonna be like your father was and his father was?
Do you have to carry what they've handed down?

No, this is not your legacy
This is not your destiny
Yesterday does not define you
No, this is not your legacy
This is not your meant to be
I can break the chains that bind you

I have a dream for you
It's better than where you've been
It's bigger than your imagination
You're gonna find real love
And you're gonna hold your kids
You'll change the course of generations

No, this is not your legacy
This is not your destiny
Yesterday does not define you
No, this is not your legacy
This is not your meant to be
I can break the chains that bind you

Cause you're my child
You're my chosen
You are loved
You are loved

And I will restore
All that was broken
You are loved
You are loved

And just like the seasons change
Winter into spring
You're brining new life to your family tree now
Yes you are
You are

No, this will be your legacy
This will be your destiny
Yesterday did not define you
No, this will be your legacy
This will be your meant to be
I can break the chains that bind you

And just like the seasons change
Winter into spring
You're brining new life to your family tree now
