We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up, everybody, and sing
(*repeat)
Everyone can see we're together
As we walk on by
And we fly just like birds of a feather
I won't tell no lie
All of the people around us they say
Can they be that close
Just let me state for the record
We're givin' love in a family dose
(*repeat 2 times)
Livin' life is fun and we've just begun to get our share
of this world's delights
High hopes we have for the future
And our goal's in sight
No we don't get depressed
Here's what we call our golden rule
Have faith in you and the things you do
You won't go wrong, oh no
This is our family jewel
(*repeat with following)
Sing it to me
**Get up, get up(get up)
And sing it to me
Oh, I can't hear you now(y'all)
Have faith in you and the things you do
Get up, get up y'all
I got my sisters with me
Everybody, hey hey hey...
Get up, get up and sing it to me
We're havin' fun
Life, life has just begun for me, me
(** repeat)
Me and my family
Get up, get up and sing it
Sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it to me
Yeah, we flock together
Like birds of a feather
Get up, come on, Join
