Song Description

Working things out, getting strength from family. Slightly different version from the one I recorded on "The Grand Design" CD. Tim Buppert sings it to give it more of a country feel.

Lyrics

My sister drives me crazy
Sge thinks that she's right all the time
But she'll stop to explain what goes on in the brain
Of that crazy girlfriend of mine

My mom and dad they still argue
It's how they've stayed married so long
Sometimes they shout but they're working it out
And it's their way keeping it strong

My family is always here
Is a bright star by which I steer
My family welcomes me back
And lets me know when I'm starting to slack
My family doesn't give up
Doesn't let go when my going gets rough
My family lets me know with their love
That I'll always be, part of my family

I travel to canyons of concrete
A million souls pass me by
Looking and hopin' for someone to open
A doorway into their lives

But the stars flickered on one by one
And the moon's love pulled on the sea
And I found an oasis of warm smiling faces
And it's finally come home to me

CHORUS

It's not always the one's you're born with
Even though you're related by blood
It's who loves you and takes care of you
When you've been crawling and covered with mud

CHORUS
