love them all you can today
Spread the word, tell the neighbor,
Cherish your daughters, love your sons,
And if you know what I know
You won't let your family
Cherish the fruits and water your roots
Family tree with the ruby
Love your ancestors, protect your youth
Merced is the strong foundation
Ooh, we said it's the strong foundation
Oh, love your mother and your father
And live your longer days
Oh, cherish your daughters
You won't let your family
Cherish the fruits and water your roots
Family tree can't wither away
Love your ancestors, protect your youth
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And if you know what I know
You won't let your family
Cherish the fruits and water the roots
Family tree, now wither away
Love your ancestors, protect your youth
Blessed is the strong foundation
Blessed is the strong foundation
Blessed is the strong foundation
Yeah, and if you know what I know
You love the family, you let the tree grow
Tell you the truth, so true
Blessed is the strong foundation
Tell you the truth, so true
