The family we should love surrounds us Hidden by labels and society’s masks We don’t have the time to reach them. Or maybe our hands don’t stretch far enough Like we try to move and yet we’re confined to the same square box. I want to scream to my brother and sisters from other fathers and mothers But you tell me you don’t know who I am We are all under one atmosphere Working together for multiple purposes that can melt into one, to live We let society's labels define us, stick us in different apartments, houses, states, nations but we are all under one atmosphere. We all can link our shared experience We can all learn from one another Your label may look different, Our ingredients might have changed over the years We don’t need to look, sound, or act alike to know That we are all one body, one family One group of humans in a studio atmosphere traveling around the galaxy. And it’s time to act like it.

Where the family stays by:Gregory Adam
The family we should love surrounds us Hidden by labels and society’s masks We don’t have the time to reach them.

We all can link our shared experience We can all learn from one another Your label may look different, Our ingredients might have changed over the years We don’t need to look, sound, or act alike to know That we are all one body, one family One group of humans in a studio atmosphere traveling around the galaxy.
