Family Song

(verse 1)

when I woke up and wiped off my drool

light smiled into the window, and I went off to school

the blue of the sky, and the green of the dancing grass

the traces of the folded towel I used before going to class

two people made a person

who met a person and had a son

now all in this full house

you got to know the evening melody

keeps everyone happy

until they are so sleepy

(chorus)

ta-dah! that happiness, that kindness

I hope with you it'll stay 

and get you through the pleasant work day

the sadness, the loneliness

will turn into a bridge

that you can cross and connects all of us

even in the furthest places

there will be traces of our family

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

what did the two of you feel when you had your first meeting?

the color of our blood, the shape of our hearts, it all has meaning

but it'd sure be nice if I could stay by your side

even when I've grown and hit my stride

I hope the day leaps through the distant buildings

and lights up the path home I'm walking

won't you send me your prayers?

through the street-lit melody here

(chorus)

ta-dah! that happiness, that kindness

I hope with you it'll stay 

and get you through the pleasant work day

the sadness, the loneliness

will turn into a bridge

that you can cross and connects all of us

(end chorus)

(bridge)

"you can go anywhere"

my dad said to me here

"you can be what you wanna be"

my grandma said to me

(chorus)

ta-dah! that happiness, that kindness

I hope with you it'll stay 

and get you through the pleasant work day

the sadness, the loneliness

will turn into a bridge

that you can cross and connects all of us

the smiles and worth-whiles

I hope with you they'll stay

even if it's just for a single day

I hope the taste of your tears

will become strength to fight your fears

and the bridge of bonds that connects us

will take you to the farthest places

(end chorus)
