Family Thing (feat. Ryleigh Madison)

I called mama the second my airplane touched the ground Said I'm here but I heard a voice as soon as I made a sound Saying baby, I've been here since 5:30 I guess I'm a little early I never understood she was never one to be on time But the picture got clearer when I saw her big blue eyes Running towards me with tears flowing down both cheeks I guess it's a family thing You can stay gone so long run around to chase a dream But no matter how far you must go you're a part of that tree That gave you strength to climb so high and helped you when you'd fall Yeah they were right beside you before you'd even call Who knew that day that grandpa bought that ring It'd start a family thing I was three years old with a microphone in my hand Singing 'bout Jesus' love, amazing grace, and how he is a friend Standing in the same place my grandma did her worshiping I guess it's a family thing You can stay gone so long run around to chase a dream But no matter how far you must go you're a part of that tree That gave you strength to climb so high and helped you when you'd fall Yeah they were right beside you before you'd even call Who knew that day that grandpa bought that ring It'd start a family thing You can stay gone so long run around to chase a dream But no matter how far you must go you're a part of that tree That gave you strength to climb so high and helped you when you'd fall Yeah they were right beside you before you'd even call Praise God for the day that grandpa bought that ring He paved the way that brought us here to sing About these family things
