To be a part of a family like mine
is so divine
where love is shown
hurt is shared
...
Fathers hold you when you have bad dreams
And they comfort you when all is lost it seems.
Fathers teach you to dribble a basketball and shoot a free throw
And they lead you as you grow.
...
I need a mother who would love me
I need a mother who would take care of me
I need a mother who would understand me
I need a mother for who I am
...
Open them, open them
let the light shine,
Release the binds
of chains and twine.
...
You are my everything
you are my lover and my friend
the one I confide to
when I am sad, happy, or I
