Grab your heart we need to leave   There's no time to cry or grieve   For the fallen family tree.      Rise above the flooding plain   Crouching low to duck the flame   Generations against the grain   Up in smoke and down the drain      If the fire, if the flood   Burns the tree and thins the blood   If your tears don't want to dry      I can help you cry   Through the night   Through the night and day   I can't take your pain away   But I can help you cry      We'll cut the branch from this tree   Carve a place for you and me   A wooden seat that we can string   From a branch where we can swing      We'll take this block of wood   Carve it down and sand it good   When finished it will be   A souvenir of the family tree      And if the fire, if the flood   Burns the tree and thins the blood   If your tears don't wanna dry      I can help you cry   Through the night   Through the night and day   I can't take your pain away   But I can help you cry   Through the night   Through the night and day   I can't take your pain away   I can try but      God help me please   Come save the family tree   My friends I broke them all   When falling off the wall      In the ash I found an ember   Something warm to help remember   A block of wood that used to be   A strong tall family tree   A strong tall family tree   Blowing in the breeze      Cry through the night   Through the night and day   I can't take your pain away   But I can help you cry   Through the night   Through the night and day   I can't take your pain away   But I can help you cry
