Family
All right
We want to be the best we can for family
We want to give the best for free for family
Want to toe the line
We want to look so fine to find the time
To make the memories last
They can hurt us, make us wish we never came, not support us
Try to put our dreams to shame, they might work for us
Never make things right again for family, our family
Sometimes our friends are closer, but those ties are never broken
Might they bend and fray, yes they might, but they won't break
Family ties forever make us who we are, for better or worse
So much is forgiven in family
So many guilt trips given by family, weddings, funerals, birthdays given
Family makes the admonitions, they bind our souls by love's provision
It's the badge that sanctions our restraint
It's what we always need, and we oft escape
But when it's taken back, bent out of shape, it's the laughter at the end of a long patient
joke too often spoke of
Never very far, a tender ancient scar, a love long suffered, inner peace buffered by spite
Family, a sentence for life with no parole
We want to be the best we can for family
We want to give the best for free for family
Want to toe the line
We want to look so fine to find the time
To make the memories last
They can hurt us, make us wish we never came, not support us
Try to put our dreams to shame, they might work for us
Never make things right again for family, our family
Sometimes our friends are closer, but those ties are never broken
Might they bend and fray, yes they might, but they won't break
Family ties forever make us who we are, for better or worse
So much is forgiven in family
So many guilt trips given by family, weddings, funerals, birthdays given
Family makes the admonitions, they bind our souls by love's provision
It's the badge that sanctions our restraint
It's what we always need, and we oft escape
But when it's taken back, bent out of shape, it's the laughter at the end of a long patient
joke too often spoke of
Never very far, a tender ancient scar, a love long suffered, inner peace buffered by spite
Family, a sentence for life with no parole
