Lyrics

Somewhere along the way
We stopped coming around
Started hearing about each other
Instead of sitting down
Now the children don't know the children
And the cousins don't know names
We inherited some distance
But we don't have to keep it this way
Ooh
Tell me family
Can we come together
How we get so far apart
Coming from the same family tree
Same blood running through our hearts
But you don't know much about me
Cousins passing cousins by
Wouldn't know 'em if they met downtown
Another baby born into the family
And half of us ain't been around
Wedding dates with no invitation
Graduations we heard about late
Somebody said somebody said something
Now ten years gone behind one mistake
And everybody got their side
Everybody knows who's wrong
But if we're really strong like we say we are
Why we let this go this long
I don't know if Mama did everything right
Don't know if Grandmama knew what to do
Maybe they carried what somebody gave 'em
And passed down what they made it through
But strength ain't something that we say
Strength is what we're willing to do
So before another generation inherits this
Please forgive me
I forgive you
Can we come together
Like family supposed to be
Can we come together
Like God meant for you and me
Put on some songs tonight
Hug you and tell you I love you
Let our children see us getting it right
And know what family love can do
We've been apart too long
Let's make up for the time we've lost
Bitter hate separates
But love can survive any weather
Oh family
Can we come together
Why we fight among ourselves
Like enemies out in the street
Same last name, same history
But won't even call when somebody needs
We show strangers more compassion
Than the ones who share our blood
Quick to tell the world we're family
Slow to demonstrate the love
And our children watch in silence
Learning everything we do
If I never speak to your side of the family
What am I teaching mine to do
Another funeral brings us together
Everybody crying"Life too short"
Then the flowers die, the cars pull off
And we're right back where we were before
No, I don't wanna wait for a casket
To finally bring us in one room
I'd rather see you while you're living
And give your flowers straight to you
Can't keep blaming Mama and them
For everything we refuse to change
We grown enough to stop the cycle
Grown enough to heal this pain
We may never know where it started
But we can decide where it ends
You don't have to agree with everything I do
For me to still call you family and friend
So please forgive me
I forgive you
Let's begin again
Can we come together
Like family supposed to be
Can we come together
Like God meant for you and me
Put on some songs tonight
Hug you and tell you I love you
Let our children see us getting it right
And know what family love can do
We've been apart too long
Let's make up for the time we've lost
Bitter hate separates
But love can survive any weather
Oh family
Can we come together
