Family Reunion

It's so nice to see

All the folks you love together

Sittin' and talkin' 'bout

All the things that's been goin' down

It's been a long, long time

Since we had a chance to get together

Nobody knows

The next time we see each other

May be years and years from now

Family reunion

Got to have

A family reunion

Family reunion

It's so nice

To come together

To come together

To get together

I wish Grandma could see

The whole family

I sure miss her face

And her warm and tender embrace

And if Grandpa was here

I know he'd be smiling from ear to ear

To see what he has done

All the offsprings from his daughters and sons

A family reunion

Gonna have

A family reunion

Ooh, ooh

Family reunion

It's so nice

To come together

Come together

To get together

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

At least once a year we should have

Family reunion

A family reunion

We need to do it for the young

Family reunion

It'll be nice, it'll be nice

To come together

Come together

To get together

Family reunion

Sister knows, Papa knows

A family reunion

It's good to see you

I said we're shakin' hands

Family reunion

And makin' plans

Maybe next year

Come together

Family reunion

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

A family reunion

We gotta have, we gotta have

Family reunion

It'll be nice, it'll be so nice

To come together

Come together

To get together

You know the family is the solution to the world's problems today

Now let's take a look at the family

In the family

The father is like the head

The leader

The director

Not domineering

But showing love

Guidance

For everyone else in the family

If we could get all the fathers of the world

To stand up and be fathers

That would be great

Then we have mothers

Who are the right arm of the father

They're supposed to

To

To do the cooking

Raise the children

Do the sewing

And help the father to guide and direct

Then there's the son

The son

Most sons are like imitators of their father

So we're back again to the father

If he is guiding in the right way

The son is definitely gonna be alright

Then we have the daughter

Watching her mother

Be–, Because sooner or later

She's gonna be a mother

And she'll have her own sons and daughters

It don't, it don't just stop there with the family or

Um, of yours or mine

It's a universal family

Under one divine purpose

And one divine Father

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

'Cause you'll bleed

Ooh, ooh-ooh

Family, family, family reunion

It'll be nice

So nice, so nice
