You know, they say
Blood is thicker than water
But I believe that love is what we need
In our hearts
To me, family can be your friends, employees
Your next door neighbor or even that sad
Person you see while crossin' paths
And you have it in your heart to make them
Part of your family

Isn't it funny how we see life all around us
Tryna make sense of all the things others
Don't understand
Livin' each day can sometimes be quite
The challenge, When ya in a tugga war
And stress is always in demand
You never know what someone else may be
Goin' through
They're keepin' a smile on their face
To cover up the hurt and pain
You keep askin' ya self if you're
The only one this is happenin' to
You know in ya heart ya wanna do ya
Best tryin' hard not to complain

Love is all we need
Doesn't cost you nothin'
It is free

Love is tenderness
Bein' kind to others
All part of the plan

Pushin' ya self can be a struggle
When ya all burnt out
Ya find ya self in situations
Only God understands
Hopin' and prayin' a change
Will come so that you will
Have no doubt
Until your next door neighbor
Lends you a helpin' hand
Who would've thought
That love would send
Someone true to you
Just when you were about
To give it all up cause you had no luck
You never knew that you
Would need someone to help you through
God sends his angels
Just in time to lift you up

Love can bring you to a place
Where nothin' matters just
Happiness
Family is what you make cause blood
Sometimes bring us to loneliness

My family has grown and I now have
Sisters and brothers
Who I love and appreciate
With all my heart
They have demonstrated their support
Through acts of kindness
And helped me during difficult times
And my heart is now filled with
Love, Joy and Peace

Cause Love is all we need
Doesn't cost ya nothin'
It is free

Love is tenderness
Being kind to others
Is all part of the plan
