Haven't you noticed
a break down in family ties
It's just not as strong as it once was
and every time I see in a weekend
it makes me what to cry

Ooh what a shame (ooh what a shame)
there's another home falling apart
Ooh what a shame (ooh what a shame)
another group of broken hearts

It's not a secret
we all know it's slipping away
don't let it go, no don't let it go
It's the only true foundation
on which we can survive

Don't be afraid (don't be afraid)
you got to take a final stand
Don't be afraid (don't be afraid)
you got to try to understand

Bring the family back
bring them all together (bring the family back)
Bring the family back
Bring them all together (together)

Bring it back, ooh bring it back
