Family Love


  she said...
when you say you love me
what else could you mean
can you explain it to me
in things I have seen?...

  I said...
you know I can't tell you
what you yourself must feel
you know it's love
  when it's real...


and then we had a child
and all the little bumps
from diaper rash and money
to power trips to mumps
the heat could melt a glacier
the chills could frost a star
and sometimes it takes leaving
to find out where you are

  and she said...
things I won't repeat
things she still regrets
things the mind can only
hope the heart forgets

  and I said...
things I don't believe
things turned all around
things the mind can only
  hope the heart turns down...


sometimes it takes a child
to speak for a heart
when pride and prejudice
tear adults apart
when life is full of doubt
I hear my child sing
family is love
love forgives everything

when it's family
your heart wants to sing
when it's family
there's no queen or king
there's just sharing love
and sweet comforting
whatever happens in family
  family forgives...
everything

  and I said...
it's beyond sorry
it's beyond words
let's just be children
I think she heard

for she said the same thing
  without a word...


  and we said...
when life is full of doubt
I hear my child sing
family is love
love forgives everything

when it's family
your heart wants to sing
when it's family
there's no queen or king
there's just sharing love
and comforting
and whatever happens
in family
family forgives everything

that's what she told me
we give and recieve
though everything changes
I still believe
that family means
forgiving everything
and that is the love
my heart wants to sing

family is love
and love forgives
everything
