(Chorus)
This is the story of my family tree
And what it means to me
Everyone in my tree
Encourages me
To be the best, I can be

Each of us has a family
We all have family trees
They’re made up of all the stories
Of how we came to be
My parents are the roots and the anchor
They keep everything in place
Always growing older and wiser
They form a sturdy base

(Chorus)

I’m one branch our tree holds up
To keep me safe and sound
Helping me reach up to the sky
As the roots grow through the ground
My brothers and sisters are branches too
And a bud is starting to show
A brand new baby is on the way
And so our family grows

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Our family forest started long ago
By ancestors who wanted us to grow
As time goes by they age and pass away
But they live on in who we are today

Every family tree is different
Some are full of leaves
Blossoms, fruit and pine cones
Waving in the breeze (mine is full of nuts!)
My family tree is special
Yours is special too
Our trees are part of a forest
Connecting me and you

(Chorus Reprise)
Now we’re a forest of family trees
Including you and me
A community we will be
Together, living happily 

We’re gunna live, laugh, share together
Learn, grow, love forever
Play and sing, no matter what the weather

We’re gunna live, laugh, share together
Learn, grow, love forever
Play and dance our family trees together, love and grow family forever
