It ain't so easy when you're
Doing things the family way
You can change your mind but you'll always find
That the chance is there for the taking
Don't you know, do you care
For the love that we have always been making
And it's not a sin
Thought it always bring
The punishment ever after
Run away from the pain
Catch a ride into a world full of laughter
This time we've come to let it show
I know that we can watch it grow
I am my father's son
You are your mother's daughter
I know our time will come
Don't care what they say
They tell us our flesh is weak
Our blood is thicker than water
It ain't so easy when you're
Doing things the family way
Well it feel so good
And we know it should
But it's only when we're together
In a way we belong
In a world that gives but's it's never a pleasure
This time we've come to let it show
I know that we can watch it grow
I am my father's son
You are your mother's daughter
I know our time will come
Don't care what they say
They tell us our flesh is weak
Our blood is thicker than water
It ain't so easy when you're
Doing things the family way
If I was blinded then, you made me see
I would do anything if you'd share it all with me
I am my father's son
You are your mother's daughter
I know our time will come
Don't care what they say
They tell us our flesh is weak
Our blood is thicker than water
It ain't so easy when you're
Doing things the family way
