Everybody got a life that they must live
And we all want to know how we'll be remembered when we're gone
There are things we'll take and things we'll give
And onto our own selves surely kids are gonna be born
And we would teach them what we've learnt
In the best way that we can
Now in some fires they must be burnt
We can't be there all the time
But that's the way the world turns on and on
Some are born into wealth and grow unconcerned
Some are born into the struggle of having to sweat for what they earn
But don't matter who you are
You're a bum or a star
Hey everybody is somebody
And everyone has a family
Now some families had destructive actions on a growing child
I thank the Lord that that wasn't mine
We sure had a lot of love in the old days
These days I sure miss the old ways
But I know that life goes on and I'm equipped
But do they ALL remember how we used to live?

My Family
Would always be in this heart of mine
My Family
Their spirit in me it will always shine
They are who I am
They are where I'm from
And I know where I'm going in God's glory
Thanks to my family!

(musical interlude)

So to every member of my family I say Thanks!
It sure was good growing with you
Maybe some of you thought me as different or crazy
But I'm always a part of you
And yes I'm proud to be
Part of this family
You've molded and nurtured me
That's my identity!

My Family
Would always be in this heart of mine
My Family
Their spirit in me it will always shine
They are who I am
They are where I'm from
And I know where I'm going in God's glory
Thanks to my family! Oh
My Family
Would always be in this heart of mine
My Family
Their spirit in me it will always shine
They are who I am
They are where I'm from
And I know where I'm going in God's glory
Thanks to my family!
My Family
Would always be in this heart of mine
My Family
Their spirit in me it will always shine
They are who I am
They are where I'm from
And I know where I'm going in God's glory
Thanks to my family!
