Looking back Back on all my yesterdays I know I wanted everything my way Didn’t want to listen to a word you said Though you tried, you tried to show me wrong from right Never really saw it eye to eye I guess I wasn’t ready for compromise I never told you enough How much I cared But now I understand You only did it for love Protecting me You made me into who I am You give me strength to reach for every goal The wings to fly, a safety net if I fall The confidence to make my will my own That’s what family is It’s always there, a heart I know I can trust An open door, a place I’ll never be judged You wrap me up in unconditional love That’s what family is Looking at Now I’m looking at it through your eyes A little older and I realize No one in a family gets left behind (ind) I know I’m never alone You’ll be there Standing right beside me This is the place I belong The light you shine Is always there to guide me home You give me strength to reach for every goal The wings to fly, a safety net if I fall The confidence to make my will my own That’s what family is It’s always there, a heart I know I can trust An open door, a place I’ll never be judged You wrap me up in unconditional love That’s what family is We are branches of a tree Pointed in the same direction Gotta give each other protection That’s what family is And wherever life may lead The memories we made together Will carry in our hearts forever That’s what family is You give me strength to reach for every goal The wings to fly, a safety net if I fall The confidence to make my will my own That’s what family is It’s always there, a heart I know I can trust An open door, a place I’ll never be judged You wrap me up in unconditional love That’s what family is Family is Oh-woah, oh-woah oh-woah, oh…. That’s what family is…. Oh-woah, oh-woah oh-woah, oh….
