(Verse 1) Every year, the leaves begin to dance Spinning in the wind like a fleeting chance When you're too young to choose but still have to decide Looking back, I wonder—was it all just a lie? (Pre-Chorus) Red, yellow, orange, and blue Summer reminds me so much of you (Chorus) What makes a family? Is it love, is it blood, is it destiny? They never noticed my red, tear-stained eyes I was screaming, but silence replied (Verse 2) I really missed the boat when it comes to this life Tried so hard, gave it all, did it with love and light But why is love never enough? Why is kindness always so tough? (Chorus) What makes a family? Is it love, is it blood, is it destiny? They never noticed my red, tear-stained eyes I was screaming, but silence replied (Bridge) Where is compassion, where is my hand? We are all brothers and sisters in this land But why do we hurt, why do we divide? When we could lift each other and stand side by side (Verse 3 - Reflection) I am what I am, you are what you are We are all just living, struggling, fighting scars Reach back—we are waiting One moment of kindness could be liberating (Pre-Chorus) Do you have any idea what it would be like To make someone else’s dream take flight? It would feel so good, so right So much love, so much light (Chorus - Final) What makes a family? Is it love, is it blood, is it destiny? We’ve got enough trouble in this life So don’t bring me trouble, just bring me light (Outro - Soft, Fading Out) Don’t we have enough trouble in life? Let’s not make it harder— Let’s make it right.
