"The Orchard" lyrics

My grandmother
She was kind and held a wisdom like no other
Her words echo deep inside my heart
We're never apart

My grandfather
He was so proud of his family and his holler
He worked the land and worked his sons and daughters
He lived with honor

Even though some leaves have gently fallen
We all know new trees will grow
Our family tree becomes an orchard calling
For us to sing their song
Their memory goes on

We stitch together
Every memory and thing we can remember
A tapestry of happiness and tears
Passed down year-to-year

We tell our children
Every story so they can continue building
A foundation that is solid and so strong
For them to carry on

Even though some older leaves have fallen
We all know new trees will grow
A family tree becomes an orchard calling
For us to sing their song
Their memory goes on

Oh. The years. They may pass away, they may pass away
But their memory never fades
They stand beside us
They stand beside us in the orchard that they made
In the garden that they made
That they made

Even though some older leaves have fallen
We all know new trees will grow
A family tree becomes an orchard calling
For us to sing their song
Their memory goes on
And on
