Family Lyrics

He's on the run from a bad break
His soles are worn down to the skin
He's got the scars of a heartache
So you can see everywhere he's been

And where he was he was the only one
So he went looking for his mother's son

With my family around me now
It takes me to a new place
When my family surrounds me now
You see it on my face

But his own people didn't know him
They couldn't take the bad with the good
There's just so much he couldn't show them
It left him sneaking 'round the neighborhood

He just wanted to be known and loved
And sometimes flesh and blood is not enough

With my family around me now
It takes me to a new place
When my family surrounds me now
You see it on my face

With my family around me now
It takes me to a new place
When my family surrounds me now
You see it on my face

Who's my sister, who's my brother?
Who's my father, who is my mother?
Those who I cannot sell anything
Those who cannot buy my love

With my family around me now
It takes me to a new place
When my family surrounds me now
You see it on my face

With my family around me now
It takes me to a new place
When my family surrounds me now
You see it on my face
