Lyrics

Where we all go summer 1971?
From Chicago to Toronto for a family reunion
My dad at the wheel, driving five hours at a clip
Swimming in the afternoons, another motel 6
First stop in town was my grandmother's bakery
She stood there and welcomed us, the American celebrities
I saw her photo on the wall, I thought she was the famous one
Then my uncles and her gave us all the cookies we want
Here we are together, our father's gone
Here we are together, 40 years on
Here we are together, just daughters and sons
This is our reunion, this is our reunion
Later in an old fancy restaurant she wore the crown
Surrounded by all her kin looking proudly around
I watched my dad with his brothers with their gray-green eyes
And their handsome faces with dark shadows behind
All the things my dad loved, his brothers gave to him
Mathematics and opera, Gilbert and Sullivan
I used to believe he was the lucky one, the one who got away
The mysterious prodigal son at that family reunion, 1971
And here we are together, our father's gone
Here we are together, 40 years on
Here we are together, just daughters and sons
This is our reunion, this is our reunion
This is our reunion, this is our reunion
