What does family mean
Does it only need
A mom and Dad a couple kids
Sure that's where it all begins, but
Wedding bands and mortgage loans
Aren't what make a house a home
It’s so much more than just the basic things
It’s all that happens in between
Like roadtrip driving til the break of dawn
Offkey singing to our favorite songs
Jumping and yelling cheering our favorite team
Grandma’s cooking and latenight games
Good advice and making mistakes
Then forgiving forgetting and loving through everything
That’s what family means to me
No matter what we do
We’re gonna make it through
Because it isn’t just a box to check
Or a status that we’re trying to get
In the stands or back at home
Family’s there to cheer us on
And it can last forever and a day
Along with all the memories made
Like front room movie nights and handmedowns
Dreaming bigger than our bank account
But knowing we’ll always have enough to make ends meet
Doctor visits from a double dare
Group hug laughing after family prayer
And knowing we’d never ever wanna change a thing
That’s what family means to me
It's working hard
And giving up the things we want
For something more
Yeah, it's so much more
