Haven't you noticed
 A breakdown in the family tie
 Just not as strong as it once was
 Every time I see it weaken, it makes me want to cry
 
 Oh, what a shame [Oh, what a shame]
 'Cause another home's falling apart
 Oh, what a shame [Oh ,what a shame]
 Another group of broken hearts
 
 It's not a secret
 We all know that it's slipping away
 Don't let it go, no, don't you let it go
 It is the only true foundation on which we can survive
 
 Don't be afraid [Don't be afraid]
 'Cause you got to take it for a stand
 Don't be afraid [Don't be afraid]
 You've got to try to understand
 
 Bring the family back, bring it back together
 Bring the family back
 Bring the family back, bring it back together
 Together
 
 Bring the family back, bring it back together
 Bring the family back
 
 There's also the children
 The future's quickly comin' their way
 How it will be
 Oh, tell me how do you think it will be
 
 Will they all join hands together and live in harmony
 
 Oh, what a shame [Oh, what a shame]
 If we don't get together fast
 Oh what a shame [Oh what a shame]
 How much longer will the whole thing last
 
 Bring the family back, bring 'em back together
 Bring the family back
 Bring the family back, bring the family back and together
 
 Bring the family back and live in harmony
 Bring the family back
 Bring back family unity
 
 Bring the family back, bring 'em back together
 Bring the family back
 Bring the family back together, bring 'em family back
 Bring 'em back together
 
 Bring the family back and live in harmony
 Bring the family back
 Bring the family back, where's the unity
 Bring the family back
 
 Bring the old folks, the young folks, and all folks together
 Just bring the people back
 Bring the family back [Bring the family back, bring it back together]
 [Bring the family back]
 
 
 Bring the family back
 Bring the family back
 Bring the family back
 Bring it all the time together
 
 Bring the family back together [Bring the family back, bring it back 
 together]
 [Bring the family back]
 [Bring the family back, bring it back together]
 [Bring the family back]
 
 [Bring the family back]
