Family is a state of mind
Family is an affair
Were meant  to keep together
And sometimes we stop and stare
At others who we wonder about
We want to look and learn
What is it that keeps families alive
Lets’ talk and let us yearn
For that which some take so for granted
And that which can be true
A family is people together
From them you take your cue
You work as one you talk as one
You do things all together
It is so simple to chug along
In all kind of sorts of weather
And when it gets too difficult
To keep  your mind in sane
You start all over and try to win
And do it all again
For family just means people together
Who are working together as one
family can be a mom and dad
And children playing under the sun
Family means support when we are down
It means cheering up when things aren’t right
It means talking and caring and coming around
When life is holding us tight
Our ancestry tells us the we are whole
Our lineage binds us together
It means we keep hold when things are not right
And even in sunny weather
We may think families have to be perfect
When in truth so much can go wrong
A broken family is very painful
And many have spoken in song
Families take courage and great strength and pride
It takes lots to make it go right
But when we all get together
We certainly are quite the site
Families can be so many things
We congregate, join, and compete
But when day is done and we’re on our own
Our family makes us complete
