Family Lyrics - Dolly Parton

When it's family, you forgive them for they know not what they do 

When it's family, you accept them, 'cause you have no choice but to 

When it's family, they're a mirror of the worst and best in you 

And they always put you to the test 

And you always try to do your best 

And just pray for God to do the rest, when it's family 

Some are preachers, some are gay 

Some are addicts, drunks and strays 

But not a one is turned away, when it's family 

Some are lucky, others ain't 

Some are fighters, others faint 

Winners, losers, sinners, saints, it's all family

And when it's family you trust them and your heart's an open door 

When it's family, you tolerate what you'd kill others for 

When it's family, you love and hate and take, then give some more 

Somehow you justify mistakes, try to find some better way 

To solve the problems day to day, in the family 

You take the trouble as it comes and love them more than anyone 

Good or bad or indifferent, it's still family 

You choose your lovers, you pick your friends 

Not the family that you're in, nah 

They'll be with you 'til the end, 'cause it's family

And when it's family, you forgive them for they know not what they do 

When it's family, they're a mirror of the worst and best in you 

When it's family, when it's family 

Let me be all that I should be to the family
