Don't Wash Your Hands of Me

Don't wash your hands of me
 I am your family
 Of all the moments in your life this could be the one
 It could be your destiny
 So don't wash your hands of me
 When you look in my young brown eyes
 You can see for a hundred years
 I don't need you to feel my pain
 I just need you to know my name
 So don't wash your hands of me
 I am your family
 I'll leave your kiss here upon my face
 This is how you have shown me grace
 Walked with me in these streets of dirt
 Through the poverty, through the hurt
 Don't wash your hands of me
 I am your family
 I am innocence and I am truth
 I am chasing the car as you leave
 I have shown you what I could not say
 This is my prayer, if you must go away
 Don't wash your hands of me
 We are your family
 Of all the moments in your life
