[Effie]
What about what I need?
[C. C.]
Curtis says it's the best thing for the group
[Effie]
What about what's best for me?
[C. C.]
He feels the Dreams can crossover
[Effie]
What about how I feel?
[C. C.]
But when we're famous I'll write great things for ya
Effie, do it for me
[Effie]
What about me? What about me?
[C. C.]
It's more than you, it is more than me
No matter what we are, we are a family
This dream is for all of us, this one can be real
And you can't stop us now because of how you feel
It's more than you, it is more than me
Whatever dreams we have, they're for the family
We're not alone anymore, now there are others there
And that dream's big enough for all of us to share
So don't think you're going
You're not going anywhere
You're staying and taking your share
And if you get afraid again, I'll be there
We are a family, like a giant tree branching out towards the sky
We are a family, we are so much more than just you and I
We are a family, like a giant tree growing stronger, growing wiser
We are growing free
We need you
We are a family
