Family

Most times we share laughter
And at others our tears
We've faced many heartaches
Yet we've persevered

Our quarrels are many
Our forgiveness is true
Without one another
What would we do

Some are like nuts
That fall from a tree
We can't even pick one 
They're our family

We like some more than others
And trust our thoughts to a few
But when push comes to shove
I can count on my crew

Cause through all the struggles
We stand arm in arm
Protecting each other
From outsiders harm

So go forth with honor
Have pride in your name
Find comfort in knowing
That family remains
