The Family
is the Rock
Oh,
we know what feeling alone feels like,
And we
know how it feels to feel rejected;
But the
worst feeling in the whole wide world
Must be
the feeling that you’re unconnected.
With no
ties at all to bind you,
No family
ahead or behind you.
What else
in this world do you have to keep you sane?
We all
need to know that we’re a necessary link
In a never
ending chain.
***
There are
times when the family rock is too heavy.
Times when
you really don’t need reminding
How much
the folks who love you, love you.
When the
ties that bind are all too binding
The minute
you get your freedom
You
realize how much you need ‘em
What else
in this world do you have to keep you sane?
We all
need to know that we’re a necessary link
In a never
ending chain.
***
Cause it’s
the family roots that feed us,
The family
circles that need us,
The family
lives that lead us on
And on and
on.
And it’s
the family dreams that drive us,
The family
will survive us;
Yes, the
family will be here when we’re gone,
When we’re
gone.
***
Oh the
family is the rock,
The
foundation and the soul.
The family
is the heart,
Makes us
human, keeps us whole;
You may
wander from the circle,
You may
wander from the flock,
But you
come home to the family,
Cause the
family is the rock;
THE FAMILY
IS THE ROCK.
