I don't remember my grandfather I don't even remember remembering But like a song you learn before you Know how to sing There's picture my grandmother Must have taken one spring day She says that is was just before He pa**ed away I was sittin on his lap He was whispering something to me And by the way it made me laugh It must have been funny I've been thinkin about my story The places i come from Been thinkin about the mercy That's shaped what I've become Been thinkin about my children I pray I'm pa**in on The story of love That runs through everything I remember when i was younger I had so many dreams And most of them revolved around who I wanted to be But as i have grown older It's easy to let them go Like a kite the wind takes from my hand and Out of my control Cause the sweetest moments of my life Appear unexpectedly And the reason they take my breath away Have nothing to do with me I've been thinkin about my story The places i come from Been thinkin about the mercy That's shaped what I've become Been thinkin about my children I pray I'm pa**in on The story of love That runs through everything That runs through everything
