All through a life
And through the lives that came before
The ties that bind to blind
Of those that came before
I'm looking back
And in looking back, I hope to get beyond
And start to mend all those days
That they left undone
But in my veins, a trace remains
In my veins, yeah, a trace remains
A trace remains in me
And to want in the face of need
Well, it just seems so obscene
But that's all that's left
And that's all that they've left to leave
And then they point to themselves
And say "I look like you."
And it hurts to hear
And so it must be true
'Cause in my veins, yeah, a trace remains
In my veins, yeah, a trace remains in me
Yes, oh
But I think it's gonna be alright
You know, I think it's going to be okay
I think of those that came before
And together we will mark these days
