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
