lyrics

I made my own family one Thanksgiving day, though we weren't related by blood
It was years that had bound us, so we'd come to say and we lied cause we knew that we could
Raised glass rotations, in rounds we were taken away from the choices we'd lived
And rich men we were not, though all wealth was forgotten along with the thanks that we give

Boxseat revisions and first class provisions, don't add up to much in my mind
Next to sunsets and trail heads and cold nights in warm beds and all the forgiveness I've found
I'm beginning to find it

I own my own fortune and live my own days with a presence of mind or without
I was forged well but frayed, and I'm forgiving my forbears for roles in reflection based doubts
And these markings don't matter much, except as reminders of kinship and sincerity
With no expiration, just like that gospel of taking root while taking in breeze
