Family

I came to visit you today my brother
Probably much more than I really should
I didn't call to tell you on the tele
Cause I thought it's ok that I could
Other things in life become more important
Other things in life are what we have to do
Now these days it don't seem like a Family
Family that helped each other through

Family's ain't like a Family Somehow divided from a vote
Family's use to work together But today most Families just don't
No Family ain't like a Family Family where did that time go

I sent to you my tears in a handwritten letter
Then delivered it to where you live
I'm pretty sure by now you got to read it
Cause messages are easy to forget
It said to you why I've been complacent
It said to you why I've not been around
Tears will come when time won't even matter
We don't know how long our time's allowed

Family's ain't like a Family Somehow divided from a vote
Family's use to work together But today most Families just don't
No Family ain't like a Family Family where did that time go

The sun was shining bright as we talked of Mother
Inside our hearts we knew her day was near
Nothing we could do would ever change it
So together we kept her in our prayers
We even talked about our only sister
The only girl Mom gave her heart to hold
She told us what she knew bout being Family
I believe she hoped I'd be enough ...

Family's ain't like a Family Somehow divided from a vote
Family's use to work together But today most Families just don't
No Family ain't like a Family Family where did that time go

Family where I learned to grow ... Family a Family that I know
