Chorus:
When life gets hard,
I'll help you carry on,
Yes, you will see,
Cause you're my family;
Take my hand,
I'll help you understand,
That, you and me,
We are all family.

Verse One:
Feels only like yesterday
When you came to me,
So much beauty brought into life
Through a pregnancy;
Just look at those hands and feet
So much bigger now,
Use to burp you and change diapers
Your much older now;
Don't know if you ever knew this
Your the best of me,
The first time I saw your face
Knew it was destiny;
It made me so happy
To become your dad,
Always took it serious
Cherished the times we had;
I know they don't last forever
But the memories do,
There's no words that can express
How much I Love you;
Reminiscing your first steps
And your very first words,
The way you would put together
Your pronouns and verbs;
Now the road has split apart
Wish you were here with me now,
Keeping faith we'll be together
In the future some how;
But till then I'm living for you
All the days we're apart,
You will always have a special place
Right here in my heart.
(Daddy Loves you)

Chorus:
When life gets hard,
I'll help you carry on,
Yes, you will see,
Cause you're my family;
Take my hand,
I'll help you understand,
That, you and me,
We are all family.

Verse Two:
I know that it's been hard
All those years that you tried,
To make our family work
With all that pain inside;
My momma might not have seen it
But I saw, your hurt,
How you gave all that you could
While treated less than your worth;
Did your best to give us the Love
That you never had,
Growing up without your parents
Still you made a good dad;
You never had much to give
But your wisdom and time,
Remembering all those days
You had to keep me in line;
And your words come back to mind
Now that I raise my own,
You use to say I'd understand
And I thought you were wrong;
But they keep me holding on
When this world's on my back,
Gave me building blocks of a man
And I thank you for that;
No matter how hard this road gets
Know I'll be there for you,
Doing whatever I can
To help you make it through;
That's the least that I can do
Know I appreciate,
All your selfless sacrifices
That you chose to make.
(For my sake)

Chorus:
When life gets hard,
I'll help you carry on,
Yes, you will see,
Cause you're my family;
Take my hand,
I'll help you understand,
That, you and me,
We are all family.

Verse Three:
I know that we have our differences
And times are tough
We all share this planet together
Though some make it rough;
With multiple mass shootings
What's become of us here,
Greatest country in the world
Filled with greed and fear;
Reflect as I shed a tear
All the lives we've lost
Too invested in politics
While our kids pay the cost;
See through them clearly like Voss
Hearts consumed by gold,
Preoccupied by positions
That they buy with their soul;
And their games are getting old
It's time to shuffle the deck,
Only giving those our time
That's treating us with respect;
I'm fed up with the neglect
That goes on in our streets,
No justice, no education
So we can't find peace;
Our tension needs a release
Why we lashing out,
Use to go and throw them hands up
Now they shoot'em out;
Products of our circumstances
Where chances are given slim,
But I'll be there for my family
No matter how grim.
(Til the end)

Chorus:
When life gets hard,
I'll help you carry on,
Yes, you will see,
Cause you're my family;
Take my hand,
I'll help you understand,
That, you and me,
We are all family.
