Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
I never learned the sound of his voice
Just an old photograph and a name with no choice
But sometimes when I catch my own reflection
I see a stranger's face in my direction
[chorus]
And I wonder if he'd know me now
I wonder if he'd show me how
To carry all this weight I hold
In the quiet way the old ones told
[verse]
Now I hold my own child close to me
And something ancient starts to come clean
A line runs through us, unbroken and true
Every generation learning something new
[chorus]
And I wonder if he'd know me now
I wonder if he'd show me how
To carry all this weight I hold
In the quiet way the old ones told
[bridge]
Maybe love don't need a memory
Maybe blood remembers silently
So I'll pass it on the best I can
Down to my own daughter, down to my own son
[chorus]
And I wonder if he'd know me now
I wonder if he'd show me how
To carry all this weight I hold
In the quiet way the old ones told
