Family Reunion

The O'Jays

It's so nice to see all the folks you love together,

Sitting and talking about, allthe things that's been going down,

It's been a long, long time, since we had the chance to get together,

Nobody knows, the next time we see each other, may be years, and years from now.



(Chorus)

Family Reunion, got to have, a Family Reunion,

Family Reunion, it's so nice, to come together, to come together, to get together.



I wish Grandma could see, the whole family,

I sure miss her face, and her warm & tender embrace,

And if Grandpa was here, I know he'd be smiling from ear-to-ear,

To see what he has done, all the offsprings from his daughters & sons.



(Chorus)- Repeated 5 times (The lead singer varies his words slightly..improvisation)



Lead Singer Talks:

You know The Family is the solution to the world's problems today. Now let's take a look at The Family:

In the Family, The Father is like the Head; the leader, the director. Not dominating, but showing love & guidance for everyone else in the family. Now if we can get all the fathers in the world to stand up and be fathers, that would be great !

Then we have Mothers, who are the right arm of the Father. They're suppose to do the cooking, raise the children, do the sewing & help The Father to guide & direct.

Then there's The Son. Most sons are like imitators of their father. So we're back again to The Father. If he is guiding in the right way, The Son is definitely going to be alright.

Then we have The Daughter; watching her mother. Because sooner or later she's gonna be a mother ! And she'll have her own sons & daughters.

It don't just stop there with the families of yours or mine. It's Universal Family! Under One Divine Purpose & One Divine Father. That is, we all come together, no matter what color, race, creed, Cause that's all in the head, whether you want to believe it or not; Cause you'll believe !
