Being a Family Again

we used to protect eachother
we used to defend one another
we used to stand together like brother

we used to be a family a family that would always care
we used to be a family with more happiness than despair
we used to be a family that never hogged food or air
we used to be a family that told eachother we were there
we used to be a family a family that sat down toghether and ate
we used to be a family full of our own ideas that we create
we used to be a family that got along without debate
we used to be a family with more love than hate
So,
Why can't family be family again
and remember why those times were so good
why can't family be family again
and treat each other the way we should
why can't family be family again and throw the hate away
why can't family be family again and invite the love to stay
