9. Children talk about family

10. When it's family, you forgive them for they know
not what they do
When it's family, you accept them, 'cause you have
no choice but to
When it's family, they're a mirror of the worst and
best in you
And they always put you to the test
And you always try to do your best
And just pray for God to do the rest, when it's family
Some are preachers, some are gay
Some are addicts, drunks and strays
But not a one is turned away, when it's family
Some are lucky, others ain't
Some are fighters, others faint
Winners, losers, sinners, saints, it's all family
And when it's family you trust them and your heart's
an open door
When it's family, you tolerate what you'd kill others
for
When it's family, you love and hate and take, then
give some more
Somehow you justify mistakes, try to find some
better way
To solve the problems day to day, in the family
You take the trouble as it comes and love them more
than anyone
Good or bad or indifferent, it's still family
You choose your lovers, you pick your friends
Not the family that you're in, nah
They'll be with you 'til the end, 'cause it's family
And when it's family, you forgive them for they
know not what they do
When it's family, they're a mirror of the worst and
best in you
When it's family, when it's family
Let me be all that I should be to the family
