Family

Is family defined by blood?
Does family kick you to the mud?
Are fathers meant to praise their sons?
Is a mother meant to leave behind one?

Are mothers meant to praise their sons?
Father guilty from losing one
A sister and a brother are left
With barely beating hearts beating in their chests

Family, your family
Family, who are we?
Blood may be the tying knot
Blood may be the tying knot
But only I know what I’ve got

Does timing always work the way
We want it to from day to day
Do parents have a built in guide
But stray from love and run and hide

Oh husband, you lost a loving wife
Why do you leave the kids to pain and strife
Do fathers know their words are like
A sharpened razor edge of a knife

Family, my family
Family, who are we?
Blood may be the tying knot
Blood may be the tying knot
But only I know what I’ve got

The story that’s unfolding
A story of a family holding
The spirit of a mother passed
A father why did you leave so fast

Our children, oh our children
They will grow and learn to use all of the things they know
The only lessons that they were left
Change is good, change for the best

Family, my family, your family
Family, tell me, who are we?
Blood may be the tying knot (change for the best)
Blood may be the tying knot (I said, change for the best)
But only I know what I’ve got (change for the best)

Family, family, family, family
Family, family,  family,  family 

Only I know what I've got
Only I know what I've got
Only I know what I've got
I know what I’ve got

Blood may be the tying knot
But only I know what I've got
Blood may be the tying knot
I know what I’ve got
