You're getting older now

I see the lines around your smile

I see what's coming 'round the corner

And that's a lot for an only child

Cause I don't know yet

If I want kids of my own

But I know that if I don't

It ends with me.

If I had a sister or a brother

We could share the burden with each other.

Cause one day you'll be gone

Then I'll be gone too

Don't know if I'll carry it on

Oh but someday if I do

Then our family name

It won't just be mine

And I'll see your face

When I'm looking in their eyes

But that's only

If I carry on your bloodline.

I'm only 23

I've got my whole life left to live

I know I shouldn't think like this

But I can't help it

You were 43

When you had me

You took your time

But that took mine

And soon you'll leave

Then it's just me

Left on the family tree.

One day you'll be gone

Then I'll be gone too

Don't know if I'll carry it on

Oh but someday if I do

Then our family name

It won't just be mine

And I'll see your face

When I'm looking in their eyes

But that's only

If I carry on your bloodline.

Oooo...

Ahhh...

Ahhh...

One day you'll be gone

And then I'll be gone too

If I don't carry it on

They'll be nothing left of you

And it's a heavy weight

That I feel all the time

Not having a way

To remember you by

If I don't carry on your bloodline.
