THE IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY

No matter what race, there's always family
Nothing else bonds that closeness and love
When life looks gloomy, there's the family
When there's no where to go, you have family

Families are rich, families are poor
Some of us have those close knit families
Then there are those from broken homes
Without unity of family, exist many problems

In today's society, it's self evident that
Though many problems exist, and growing fast
This family suffers from "broken homes blues"
However, they are still family

As a people, we mirror our environment
Seeing and living one kind of life
Being blinded from life's realities
This is, the importance of family
