The song discusses different types of families, noting that some families have daughters or sons, others have many relatives like aunts and uncles, while some have none. It states that families can be very big or very small, but what really matters is the love shared, as a family is a family whether it has two people or dozens. The lyrics suggest that the members of a family are less important than the bond of caring for one another.

Some, have a daughter
Some, have a ……………………………..
Some, have many ………………………..
Some, have none.
Some are very big and

A family is a …………………..
Whether twelve or two.
We could be a family.
Just me and you.
