Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[C][F]

[Verse 1]
[C]I am not my family tree
[F]These are different leaves, you know
[Am]There are miles and miles between
My [F]roots and what I'm trying to grow

[Verse 2]
[C]I am not the slave they sold
[F]Nor am I royalty
I've [Am]worn them both, the [G]finest coat
And rags that [C]barely cover me

[Verse 3]
But there's [Am]mercy in the soil,
[F]mercy in the sun
[C]Learning to forgive,
what [G]cannot be undone
And [Am]what was meant to harm can't
[F]harm you in the end
Stepped [C]out on a limb
I thought might break
But love [G]said, it will only [Am]bend[F]
It will only bend
[C][G]

[Verse 4]
[C]I am not my past mistakes
[F]La belled by some place and time
[Am]Nor am I trophy case
Try[F]ing to maintain my shine

[Verse 5]
[C]I have dreamed
a thousand dreams
[F]Watched a grain in famine, grow
[Am]I am not my family tre[G]e
I have branches [C]of my own

[Verse 6]
But there's [Am]mercy in the soil,
[F]mercy in the sun
[C]Learning to forgive,
what [G]cannot be undone
And [Am]what was meant to harm can't
[F]harm you in the end
Stepped [C]out on a limb I thought
might break
But Love [G]said, it will only bend
[Am]It w[F]ill only bend

[Verse 7]
[Dm]Oh, does fate resign u[F]s to
Find shelter for [Am]our wounds
Beneath the battered [G]roof
of broken dreams?
[Dm]Oh, but I will choose [F]to stand
In the shadow of [C]your hand
And see what grows [G]when grace has sown the seed
