Reunion

Where we all go summer 1971?
 From Chicago to Toronto
 For a family reunion
 The dad at the wheel, driving five hours of the clip
 Swimming in the afternoons, another motel 6
 First stop in town was my grandmother's bakery
 She stood there and welcomed us, the American celebrities
 I saw her photo on the wall, I thought she was the famous one
 Then my uncles and her gave us all the cookies we want
 Here we are together
 Our father's gone
 Here we are together
 40 years on
 Here we are together
 Just daughters and sons
 This is our reunion
 This is our reunion
 Later in an old fancy restaurant she wore the crown
 Surrounded by all her kin
 Looking probably around
 I watched my dad with his brothers with their great green eyes
 And their handsome faces with dark shadows behind
 All the things my dad loved his brothers gave a hand
 Not the mad aches in Oprah, Gilbert and Sullivan
 I used to believe he was the lucky one
 The one who got away
 The mysterious prodigal son
 At that family reunion, 1971
 And here we are together
 Our father's gone
 Here we are together
 40 years on
 Here we are together
 Just daughters and sons
 This is our reunion
 This is our reunion
 This is our reunion
 This is our reunion
