We Are Family
There’s an unsettling silence that hangs in the air
The broken, twisted--cracked chair is empty just sitting there
The chair is almost gone now, memories are keeping it alive
So many people sat on it, about a one hundred five
My thoughts are obscured, and memory a haze
I started to reminisce about the good old days
As kids playing tag and that apple tree was the safety base
Blowing bubbles and watching them burst on our face
For today is tomorrow’s yesterday and looking back is what we do
It makes us smile knowing that someone loves you
I always think to myself, “Oh, how things have changed”
To be honest nothing really changes, every day ends the same
Family, here's the problem and our issue
No need to hang your head in shame and grab that tissue
The human race, we are one big family
It’s a shame we are besieged by hate, and we should have learned it is wasted energy
We need to be one united through the storm
Father God never intended for the family to be torn
We all share a beautiful planet, a beautiful earth
Family is all we have left not even a price tag can show what it is worth
Ephesians 3:14-15 For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
Psalm 103:17 But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children—
