The O'Jays | Lyrics | Family Reunion

Well

It's so nice to see
All the folks you love, together
Sittin' and talkin' 'bout
All the things that's been goin' down

It's been a long, long time
Since we had a chance to get together
Nobody knows the next time we see each other
Maybe years and years from now

Family reunion, got to have
A family reunion
Family reunion
It's so nice to come together
(Come together)
To get together

I wish grandma could see
The whole family
I sure miss her face
And her warm and tender embrace

And if grandpa was here
I know he'd be smiling for me a tear
To see what he has done
All the off springs from his daughters and sons

A family reunion, gonna have
A family reunion
Family reunion
It's so nice to come together
(Come together)
To get together

At least once a year we should have

(Family reunion)
A family reunion, we need to do it for the young
(Family reunion)
It'll be nice, it'll be nice to come together
(Come together)
To get together

(Family reunion)
Sister knows, heaven knows
(A family reunion)
It's good to see you
(Family reunion)

I said we are sinkin' hands, makin' plans
Maybe next year
(Come together)
Maybe next year

A family reunion
(A family reunion)
We gotta have, we gotta have
(Family reunion)
It'll be nice, it'll be so nice
To come together
(Come together)
To get together

You know the family is the solution
To the world's problems today
Now, let's take a look at the family
In the family the father is like the head
The leader, the director

Not domineering but showing love, guidance
For everyone else in the family
Now, if we could get all the fathers of the world
To stand up and be fathers, that would be great

Then we have mothers
Who are the right arm of the father
There's supposed to, to, to do the cooking
Raise the children, do the sewing
And help the father to guide and direct

Then there's the son
The son, most sons are like imitators of their father
So, we're back again to the father
If he is guiding in the right way
The son is definitely gonna be alright

Then we have the daughter watching her mother
Be, because sooner or later, she's gonna be a mother
And she'll have her own sons and daughters
It don't, it don't just stop there with the family or
Of, of yours or mine, it's a universal family

Under one divine purpose and one Divine Father
That is, if we all come together
No matter what color, race, creed
'Cause that's all in the head
Whether you wanna believe it or not 'cause you'll bleed

Family, family, family reunion
It'll be nice, so nice, so nice
