Dolly Parton - When It's Family Lyrics
Official




When it's family, you forgive them for they know not what they do
When it's family, you accept them 'cause you have no choice but to
When it's family, they're a mirror of the worst and best in you
And they always put you to the test and you always try to do your best
Just pray for God to do the rest when it's family

Some are preachers, some are gay
Some are addicts, drunks and strays
But not a one is turned away
When it's family

Some are lucky, others ain't
Some are fighters, others faint
Winners, losers, sinners, saints
It's all family

And when it's family, you trust them 'cause your heart's an open door
When it's family, you tolerate what you'd kill others for
When it's family, you give and give and take then give some more

Somehow you justify mistakes
Try to find some better way
To solve the problems day to day
In the family

You take the trouble as it comes and love 'em more than anyone
Good or bad or indifferent, it's still family
You choose your lovers, you pick your friends
But not the family that you're in
They'll be with you 'til the end 'cause it's family

And when it's family, you forgive them for they know not what they do
When it's family, you accept them 'cause you have no choice but to
When it's family, they're a mirror of the worst and best in you
And they always put you to the test you always try to do your best
And pray for God to do the rest, when it's family

Family, family
Let me be all that I should be
To the family

Family, family
Winners, losers, sinners, saints
It's all family

Family, family
They'll be with you 'til the end
