Haven't you noticed
A breakdown in the family tie?
Just not as strong as it once was
Every time I see it weaken, it makes me want to cry
Oh, what a shame (oh, what a shame)
'Cause another home's falling apart
Oh, what a shame (oh, what a shame)
Another group of broken hearts
It's not a secret
We all know that it's slipping away
Don't let it go, no, don't you let it go
It is the only true foundation on which we can survive
Don't be afraid (don't be afraid)
'Cause you got to take it for a stand
Don't be afraid (don't be afraid)
You've got to try to understand it
Bring the family back, bring it back together
(Bring the family back)
Bring the family back, bring it back together
(Together)
Bring it back, bring my fam back, bring it back together, bring the family back
There's also the children
The future's quickly comin' their way
How it will be
Oh, tell me how do you think it will be?
Will they all join hands together and live in harmony?
Oh, what a shame (oh, what a shame)
If we don't get together fast
Oh, what a shame (oh, what a shame)
How much longer will the whole thing last
Bring the family back, bring 'em back together
(Bring the family back)
Bring the family back, bring them back together
(Together)
Bring the family back and live in harmony
Bring the family back
Bring back family unity
Bring the family back, bring 'em back together
(Bring the family back)
Bring the family back together, bring 'em back together (bringing them back together)
Get the old folks, the young folks, and all together (just bring them people back)
Bring the old folks, the young folks, and all folks together
