[Intro: Toni / (Tamar)]
Ooh, family
Whoo, yeah
Ooh yeah, ah-ah
(Ooh)
[Verse 1: Trina / *Tamar*]
Dinner's ready, time to share
We bow heads, as Father says a prayer
*Mother sings a melody
Yeah, we join in with a five-part harmony*
[Chorus: Traci]
Ooh, we are family, family
Sharing love together
Mother, father, sister, brother
Family, family
What we need to make this
What a better place for you and me
[Verse 2: Towanda / *Toni* / "Tamar"]
Grandma's in her rocking chair
Proud to have her little grandson there
Love is blooming everywhere
She and Grandpa still hold "hands and care, ooh"
[Chorus: Toni]
We are family, family
Oh, sharing love together
Mother, father, sister, brother
Family, we are family
What we need to make this
What a better place for you and me
(Family)
[Break: Toni / (Tamar)]
We are family, yeah
Ooh, yeah
Ah-ah, (ooh)
[Chorus: Toni]
We are family, family (family)
Sharing love together
Mother, father, sister, brother
Family, family
Oh, what we need to make this
What a better place for you and me
[Bridge: Toni]
We've got to pull together
Learn to love each other
Make the world a better place (ooh, family)
Let's do it, now or never
Put it back together
Family's the only way (ooh, family)
[Outro: Toni]
Ooh, family
Family, oh yeah
Ooh (ooh-oh), family (baby)
Family, family
Ooh, family
Whoo, yeah
Ooh yeah, ah-ah
(Ooh)
