Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. What does family mean? Does it only need A mom and dad and 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 till the break of dawn Offkey singing to our favorite songs Jumping and yelling, cheering our favorite team Grandma’s cooking and late-night games It’s good advice and making mistakes Then forgiving, forgetting, and loving through everything That’s what family means to me
2. 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 hand-me-downs 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 some things we want For something more Yeah, it’s so much more
Roadtrip driving till the break of dawn Offkey singing to our favorite songs Jumping and yelling, cheering our favorite team Grandma’s cooking and late-night games It’s good advice and making mistakes Then forgiving, forgetting, and loving through everything That’s what family means to me That’s what family means to me
