You look just like your father, I can't help envy you.
There's so much of your mother, in everything you do.
You know which side your eyes come from, and the color of your hair.
To see you next to family, I can't help if I stare.
Cause I would almost give it all to see my family tree.
In my life I've never seen someone who looks like me.
I'd like to study faces, as they look back at me.
From faded family photographs, passed down for me to see.
Did they come through Ellis Island, or on a ship in chains?
To me it does not matter, I want to hear their names.
Cause I would almost give it all to see my family tree.
In my life I've never seen someone who looks like me.
I love the ones who raised me, and held me through the night.
Their arms encircled round me, until the morning light.
And love is what they gave me, to carry in my heart.
They'll always be my bears, but they're still missing heart.
Cause I would almost give it all to see my family tree.
In my life I've never seen someone who looks like me.
Yes, I would almost give it all to see my family tree.
In my life I've never seen someone who looks like me.
In my life I've never seen someone who looks like me.
