7th Cousin (Twice Removed)

[Verse 1] Got an email, three-forty-seven names Watching rockets paint the sky in flames They say I'm family but nobody knows how Second cousin? Aunt's what now? Miguel's voice crackles through my radio every night And the limestone's whispering that this feels right [Pre-Chorus] I've been the mystery they couldn't solve A puzzle piece that somehow fits at all But maybe family's not about the blood you share It's about who answers when you're in the air [Chorus] I'm the seventh cousin twice removed Can't trace the line but I'm in the groove Ground Control to everyone above It's not the DNA, it's about the love We're a constellation, not a family tree Connected by the work, not the pedigree Seventh cousin twice removed But I belong, and that's the proof [Verse 2] Riley drew it out in colored pens Virginia blue and Oregon green Dotted lines for all the adopted ones Turns out we're all refugees from something Isabella brings the coffee, Maverick flies the plains Diego talks to rocks about their quantum brains [Pre-Chorus] Three hundred forty-seven can't be wrong Even if we can't trace where we all belong It's not the bloodline running through our veins It's the same sky calling out our names [Chorus] I'm the seventh cousin twice removed Can't trace the line but I'm in the groove Ground Control to everyone above It's not the DNA, it's about the love We're a constellation, not a family tree Connected by the work, not the pedigree Seventh cousin twice removed But I belong, and that's the proof [Bridge] Grandma was a war orphan, chosen not born Uncle Thomas, Isabella too The Oregon branch started with open doors Maybe that's the truest thing we do (The truest thing we do) And Miguel's hand fits perfect in mine The limestone says hello for the very first time Module 150,000 says we're all aligned In patterns that we can't define [Final Chorus] I'm the seventh cousin twice removed Can't trace the line but I'm in the groove Ground Control to everyone above It's not the DNA, it's about the love We're a constellation, not a family tree Connected by the work, not the pedigree Seventh cousin twice removed But I belong, and that's the proof [Outro] (Seventh cousin, twice removed) Yeah I belong, and that's the proof (Seventh cousin, twice removed) It's not the blood, it's who you choose (Seventh cousin, twice removed) Ground Control says welcome home (Seventh cousin, twice removed) You were never really alone
