Dolly Parton - Family Lyrics
When its family, you forgive them for they know not what they doWhen its family, you accept them, cause you have no choice but toWhen its family, theyre a mirror of the worst and best in youAnd they always put you to the testAnd you always try to do your bestAnd just pray for God to do the rest, when its familySome are preachers, some are gaySome are addicts, drunks and straysBut not a one is turned away, when its familySome are lucky, others aintSome are fighters, others faintWinners, losers, sinners, saints, its all familyAnd when its family you trust them and your hearts an open doorWhen its family, you tolerate what youd kill others forWhen its family, you love and hate and take, then give some moreSomehow you justify mistakes, try to find some better wayTo solve the problems day to day, in the familyYou take the trouble as it comes and love them more than anyoneGood or bad or indifferent, its still familyYou choose your lovers, you pick your friendsNot the family that youre in, nahTheyll be with you til the end, cause its familyAnd when its family, you forgive them for they know not what they doWhen its family, theyre a mirror of the worst and best in youWhen its family, when its familyLet me be all that I should be to the family
