As
long
as
we
are
holding
on
to
each
other’
s
hand
The
blood
is
thicker
than
the
water
that
we
drink
With
family
by
my
side,
I’
ve
got
time
to
stop
and
think
Oh,
my
family,
you
are
the
song
inside
my
heart
Right
from
the
beginning,
you
were
there
to
play
your
part
Through
the
ups
and
the
downs,
through
the
sun
and
the
rain
You
are
the
healing
touch
that
washes
away
the
pain
Yeah,
my
family,
you
are
my
solid
ground
The
sweetest
melody
that
I
have
ever
found
I
remember
the
stories
told
around
the
evening
fire
Lessons
of
the
elders
that
would
always
lift
us
higher
We
built
this
foundation
with
love
and
with
grace
I
see
the
history
of
us
written
on
every
face
No
fancy
diamonds,
no
silver
or
the
gold
Just
the
precious
memories
that
never
will
grow
old
We
talk
of
the
future
and
the
dreams
that
we
chase
Finding
our
strength
in
this
familiar
place
Oh,
my
family,
you
are
the
song
inside
my
heart
Right
from
the
beginning,
you
were
there
to
play
your
part
Through
the
ups
and
the
downs,
through
the
sun
and
the
rain
You
are
the
healing
touch
that
washes
away
the
pain
Yeah,
my
family,
you
are
my
solid
ground
The
sweetest
melody
that
I
have
ever
found
Time
moves
fast,
like
the
river
to
the
sea
But
the
spirit
of
our
love
will
always
set
us
free
From
the
youngest
baby
to
the
ones
with
grey
hair
There
is
a
special
comfort
that
is
hanging
in
the
air
We
are
connected,
a
chain
that
cannot
break
For
every
single
step
that
we
decide
to
take
So
let
the
guitar
play
until
the
stars
begin
to
shine
I
am
so
lucky
to
be
able
to
call
you
all
mine
We
don't
need
riches
to
feel
like
we
are
kings
We
just
need
the
joy
that
this
family
circle
brings
Keep
the
rhythm
steady,
let
the
bass
line
drive
It’
s
good
to
be
with
people
who
make
me
feel
alive
Let’
s
toast
to
the
bond
that
will
never
ever
fade
For
the
beautiful
life
that
together
we
have
made
Oh,
my
family,
you
are
the
song
inside
my
heart
Right
from
the
beginning,
you
were
there
to
play
your
part
Through
the
ups
and
the
downs,
through
the
sun
and
the
rain
You
are
the
healing
touch
that
washes
away
the
pain
Yeah,
my
family,
you
are
my
solid
ground
The
sweetest
melody
that
I
have
ever
found
Yeah,
the
roots
of
the
tree
Family
is
everything
Keep
the
rhythm,
keep
the
love
Kalindula
soul
forever (
