Family Songtext
von Aloe Blacc

I used to be a younger me
Middle child that was the wildest one of three
Still got the scar here on my knee
From chasing trouble with the big kids on my street
My daddy taught me how to fight
He said don′t back down when you know that you are right
My mama taught me how to love
She said always use your heart to rise above
And I say oh oh oh don't let go oh oh of me
Don′t ever leave
And yes I know oh oh it's a long long road but all I need
Is right here next me
My family


I read my little ones to sleep
And put my face right next to theirs to feel them breathe
I'm going to show him how to dream
Kind of seed and watch it grow into tree
They know I′ll always be around
To pick them up when they fall down
And I′ll teach them the lessons taught to me
And I say oh oh oh don't let go oh oh of me
Don′t ever leave
And yes I know oh oh it's a long long road
But all I need
Is right here next
My family

And through my dark days
My sad and broken heart days
You′re all that I need
And through the worst times
Together we'll be all right
You′re safe here with me
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh all I need is my family
My family

And I say oh oh oh don't let go oh oh of me
Don't ever leave
And yes I know oh oh it′s a long long road
But all I need
Is right here next
My family
