Family Thing (feat. Ryleigh Madison)

I called mama the second my airplane touched the ground
Said I'm here but I heard a voice as soon as I made a sound
Saying baby, I've been here since 5:30
I guess I'm a little early

I never understood she was never one to be on time
But the picture got clearer when I saw her big blue eyes
Running towards me with tears flowing down both cheeks
I guess it's a family thing

You can stay gone so long run around to chase a dream
But no matter how far you must go you're a part of that tree
That gave you strength to climb so high and helped you when you'd fall
Yeah they were right beside you before you'd even call
Who knew that day that grandpa bought that ring
It'd start a family thing

I was three years old with a microphone in my hand
Singing 'bout Jesus' love, amazing grace, and how he is a friend
Standing in the same place my grandma did her worshiping
I guess it's a family thing

You can stay gone so long run around to chase a dream
But no matter how far you must go you're a part of that tree
That gave you strength to climb so high and helped you when you'd fall
Yeah they were right beside you before you'd even call
Who knew that day that grandpa bought that ring
It'd start a family thing

You can stay gone so long run around to chase a dream
But no matter how far you must go you're a part of that tree
That gave you strength to climb so high and helped you when you'd fall
Yeah they were right beside you before you'd even call
Praise God for the day that grandpa bought that ring
He paved the way that brought us here to sing
About these family things
