With a rhythm all its own.
It comforts me in my times of need
And keeps me from feeling alone.
Let everyone gather
With no heartaches or tears.
Let the bright memories flow
From all the past years.

From our family tree.

For the day that you make your presence.
A transcendental get-together
That'll last till the end of forever.
