It Runs In The Family Lyrics - The Collingsworth Family

People wonder 'bout my happy face 

While I'm walking through a world of hate 

They wanna know about my singin' voice 

And where I learned to make a joyful noise 

They wanna know why I'm calm when everything's wrong 

Who taught me how to sing a victory song 

When they asked me how I got to be this way 

I look 'em in the eye and say 

It runs in the family 

This joy that keeps me laughing 

It's the old-time religion 

Our own family tradition 

From the Heavenly Father 

To all the sons and all the daughters 

If you wonder why we're happy 

It runs in the family

If you're wondering what you gotta do 

To make this joy come alive in you 

It's really easy just look again 

In the Book at some distant kin 

Remember Silas and Paul shook the jailhouse wall 

And turned it into a concert hall 

By calling His name in the midnight hour 

We've go the very same power 

It runs in the family 

This joy that keeps me laughing 

It's the old-time religion 

Our own family tradition 

From the Heavenly Father 

To all the sons and all the daughters 

If you wonder why we're happy 

It runs in the family

This joy that keeps me laughing 

It's the old-time religion 

Our own family tradition 

From the Heavenly Father

If you wonder why we're happy 

It runs in the family

We're so happy 

Yes, we're happy 

It runs, runs in the family
