Finally Outro:
A#sus4 Gsus4
You know the family is the solution to the world's problems today
A#sus4
Now let's take a look at the family
Gsus4 A#sus4
In the family the father is like the head, the leader, the director
Gsus4
Not domineering, but showing love, guidance
A#sus4
For everyone else in the family
Gsus4
Now if we could get all the fathers of the world
To stand up and be fathers
That would be great
A#sus4
Then we have mothers
Gsus4
Who are the right arm of the father
A#sus4
There's supposed to-to-to do the cooking
Gsus4
Raise the children, do the sewing
A#sus4
And help the father to guide and direct
Then there's the son
Gsus4 A#sus4
The son, most sons are like imitators of their father
So we're back again to the father
Gsus4
And he is guiding in the right way
A#sus4
The son is definitely gonna be alright
Gsus4
Then we have the daughter
A#sus4
Watching her mother
Gsus4
Be-because sooner or later she's gonna be a mother
A#sus4
And she'll have her own sons and daughters
Gsus4
It don't, it don't just stop there with the family or
Of-of yours or mine
A#sus4
It's a universal family
Under one divine purpose
Gsus4
And one divine father
A#sus4 Gsus4
That is if we all come together no matter what color, race, creed
Because that's all in the head whether you wanna believe it or not
A#sus4 Gsus4
'Cause you'll bleed
A#sus4
Hoo...
Gsus4
Family, family, family reunion
A#sus4 Gsus4
It'll be nice, so nice, so nice
