lyrics

For as long as I can remember
You've been always there for me
I started in this world on your side
You never failed me

I see back in the years
All of us having lunch under the tree
Flowers scattering on the tablecloth
Glasses ringing in the air

When I see all those faces
Vanished with the passing of time
I tell myself: “never look back”
Spend time with the ones you love

Thank you for showing me the way
I couldn't have become who I am
I rise in the light, the light of your sight
As long as the tree stands high

I'm a little leaf in the family tree
That feeds me with unswerving love
I'm a little leaf in the family tree
That feeds me with unswerving love

Sometimes I would like to be a child
To play again with you
Sometimes I would like to take you in my arms
To show you how I love you

The tree of life never stops its race
With new buds constantly hatching in the night
Just like little flashing stars
Our souls illuminated

I know One day I will be one with you
Strengthening your trunk, your beautiful antler
Until then I promise you
To carry on my way

Thank you for showing me the way
I couldn't have become who I am
I rise in the light, the light of your sight
As long as the tree stand high

I'm a little leaf in the family tree
That feeds me with unswerving love
I'm a little leaf in the family tree
That feeds me with unswerving love
