WE MUST WAKE UP
no not from slumber
but from the ways of this new world order
put down those cell phones
git off Facebook
do you remember how I really look like
when is the last time we ate a meal at the kitchen table
had a home cooked meal
when is the last time we had a real conversation
who has changed the rules
family matters
let us come together
God's ordain this a married couple
as a husband and wife
put down those cell phones
look into my eyes again
I used to be your man
help me retain my stand, all I have is you and I am
I dare and yes I care
when is the last time we had a real conversation
who has changed the rules
family matters
once long time ago
the village raised the children
my parents, the teachers, neighbors all of us
together everyone on one accord co-raising children
WE MUST WAKE UP
no not from slumber
but from the ways of this new world order
when is the last time we had a real conversation
who has changed the rules
family matters
so turn off the games on Play Station
put down those cell phones
git off of Facebook for more than a moment
let's sit in the living room on the sofa
across from one another let's look at each other eyes
I see you, you see me converse with me for you see
I and will see into each other eye to eye
family matters
