Family

I wrote this song for my girls. Wish they could hear me sing it.

My daddy always said to me.

Now son, its hard to raise a family.

One day you will know just what I'm saying.

You will find yourself standing in my shoes.

Trying to balance the bills and the fun.

Some day you will see just what its all about.

Well dad you sure knew what you were talking about.

Its all about the memories we make.

The promises we try so hard not to break.

A big hug and an I love you, every day.

All the scrapes and bruises where mom kisses the pain away.

Being scared of what the doctor might say.

Because were family, adding to our family tree.

Hoping that I don't go crazy.

Yes its my turn, its my time raising a family I can call mine.

In this great big world, I'm so glad they are mine.

Its about the job I didn't take.

So we wouldn't have to move so far away., from family.

Or the bills I didn't pay.

So we could take our trip in May.

Kind words, and comfort on the day.

That Taylor boy you like moved away.

Watching you without training wheels for the first time.

Because we are family, adding to our family tree.

Hoping I don't go crazy.

Yes its my turn, its my time, raising a family I can call mine.

In this great big world, I'm so glad they are mine.

My world goes by so fast these days.

I find myself getting all caught up in unimportant things.

Like work, bills, and the economy.

I have to stop and take a deep breath.

And see whats standing in front of me.

Trying not to scared about tomorrow.

God has it all planed out for me.

Just sit back and take my time.

Getting to know this family of mine.

Because their my family, they mean everything to me.

I don't care If I go crazy, as long as they are here with me.

Because its our turn, Its our time.

To grow together like a pride of Lions.

In this great big world!!!

In this great big world!!!!

I'm so proud they are mine!!!!!
