When It's Family

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
You always try to do your best
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
It's family
Some are lucky, others ain't
Some are fighters, others faint
Winners, losers, sinners, saints
It's all family

When it's family
You trust them
'Cause your heart's an open door
When it's family

You tolerate what you'd kill others for
When it's family
You give and give 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
You love them more than anyone
Good, bad or indifferent
You're still family

You choose your lovers, you pick your friends
But not the family that you're in
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
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
You always try to do your best

And pray for God to do the rest
When it's family

Family, family
Let me be all that I should be
To the family
Family, family
Winners, losers, sinners, saints
It's all family
Family, family
They'll be with you 'til the end
