She still remembers the way her heart broke
On the day that she watched him drive away
How the tears felt and how the wind blew and tore the branches from a tree, near the driveway
And she didnt think shed make it through the day
Sometimes all she could think to do was pray
That god would tend the broken
Branches of this tree
So as the years went by, her children still would see
That their love is a circle even with this missing piece
If god could tend the broken branches
Of this family tree
And as the years passed, that tree would hold strong
Through every rainstorm it proved that it would stay
Through all the teardrops and all the ball games
And all the every other weekends when the kids would go away
Cuz she knows that their daddy loves them too
She prays for strength to face the changes that they've all been going through
And God tends the broken branches of this tree
And keeps his watchful eye on every tiny leaf
And their love is a circle, ways that only God can see
As he tends the broken branches of this family tree
And in the end, I don't know how it will all be sorted out
All i know is that the circle won't be broken
There will be hands to hold, and there will be love unfaint
And it will bridge the gaps between the things we can't explain
But in the meantime,
God will tend the broken branches of the trees
And as eternity goes on this will be
Because our love is a circle, in this human family
And god can mend the broken branches
He will tend the broken branches
Because he loves all the branches of his family tree
End
