Havenand't you noticed
a breakdown in the family tie
just not as strong as it once was
every time i see it weaken, it makes me want to cry
oh, what a shame [oh, what a shame]
and'cause another homeand's falling apart
oh, what a shame [oh ,what a shame]
another group of broken hearts
itand's not a secret
we all know that itand's slipping away
donand't let it go, no, donand't you let it go
it is the only true foundation on which we can survive
donand't be afraid [donand't be afraid]
and'cause you got to take it for a stand
donand't be afraid [donand't be afraid]
youand've got to try to understand
bring the family back, bring it back together
bring the family back
bring the family back, bring it back together
together
bring the family back, bring it back together
bring the family back
thereand's also the children
the futureand's quickly cominand' their way
how it will be
oh, tell me how do you think it will be
will they all join hands together and live in harmony
oh, what a shame [oh, what a shame]
if we donand't get together fast
oh what a shame [oh what a shame]
how much longer will the whole thing last
bring the family back, bring and'em back together
bring the family back
bring the family back, bring the family back and together
bring the family back and live in harmony
bring the family back
bring back family unity
bring the family back, bring and'em back together
bring the family back
bring the family back together, bring and'em family back
bring and'em back together
bring the family back and live in harmony
bring the family back
bring the family back, whereand's the unity
bring the family back
bring the old folks, the young folks, and all folks together
just bring the people back
bring the family back [bring the family back, bring it back together]
[bring the family back]
bring the family back
bring the family back
bring the family back
bring it all the time together
bring the family back together [bring the family back, bring it back
together]
