Family Band

When life gets busy and I can’t slow down
I get lost more than I get found
Taking the floor, taking a stand
And dance to the family band
Everybody trying to find themselves
Wallflowers tumbling off the shelves
How do I feel, where do I stand
Will I dance to the family band
I was well loved and I was well taught
Still it didn’t turn out the way I thought
Out of the sea, living on land
Slipping out of the family hand
Falling apart, falling in place
Telling lies and saving face
Looking for right and finding it's wrong
Where do I belong
Good thing the world is bigger than me
Way beyond my own genealogy
Family can’t always be enough
They be drowning in their own stuff
What if family is a tree that bends
Living off lovin' that never ends
Holding out for a loving hand
Can we dance to the big time band
Ain’t nothing wrong with the mom and pop
But the pushing and shoving has got to stop
Ain’t nothing wrong with a personal god
But save the child and spare the rod
Good thing the world is bigger than me
Way beyond my own family tree
Nations can’t always be enough
They be drowning in their own stuff
Ain’t nothing wrong with a personal savior
'Cept when it leads to bad behavior
If you send in your spies and you're trying to bust us
We're gonna rise up for love and justice
Gonna dance, dance, dance to the family band
