Family

When it's family, you forgive them for they know not what they do
 ♪
 When it's family, you accept them, 'cause you have no choice but to
 When it's family, they're a mirror of the worst and best in you
 ♪
 And they always put you to the test
 And you always try to do your best
 And just pray for God to do the rest, when it's family
 ♪
 Some are preachers, some are gay
 Some are addicts, drunks and strays
 But not a one is turned away, when it's family
 Some are lucky, others ain't
 Some are fighters, others faint
 Winners, losers, sinners, saints, it's all family
 ♪
 And when it's family you trust them and your heart's an open door
 ♪
 When it's family, you tolerate what you'd kill others for
 
 When it's family, you love and hate and take, then give some more
 Somehow you justify mistakes, try to find some better way
 To solve the problems day to day, in the family
 You take the trouble as it comes and love them more than anyone
 Good or bad or indifferent, it's still family
 
 You choose your lovers, you pick your friends
 Not the family that you're in, nah
 They'll be with you 'til the end, 'cause it's family
 
 And when it's family, you forgive them for they know not what they do
 When it's family, they're a mirror of the worst and best in you
 ♪
 When it's family, when it's family
 ♪
 Let me be all that I should be to the family
