LYRICS
VERSE 1:
WHEN I WAS A BABY
MY PARENTS PROTECTED ME
THEN I BECAME A MAN
EMBRACING REALITY
I TAUGHT MY CHILDREN
TO BE ALL THAT THEY CAN BE
TELL ME WHEN WILL YOU SEE
THAT IT BEGINS WITH THE FAMILY
VERSE 2:
IF YOU ARE A TEACHER
BE TRUTHFUL IN ALL YOU TEACH
YOU SAY YOU WANNA BE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT
ENFORCE WITH MORALITY
IF YOU PREACH RELIGION
FORGIVE ALL THE SINS THAT BE
TELL ME WHEN WILL YOU SEE
THAT IT BEGINS WITH THE FAMILY
CHORUS:
IF WE’RE UNITED
WHY DON’T WE ALL AGREE
IF WE’RE TRULY A STATE
MAKE STATEMENTS FOR YOU AND ME
NEVER HESITATE
PROTECTING HUMANITY
TELL ME WHEN WILL YOU SEE
IT BEGINS WITH THE FAMILY
VERSE 3:
THE VALUE OF MONEY
IS BASED UPON HUMAN NEED
OBSESSION WITH MONEY
IS BASED UPON HUMAN GREED
IT STOPS BEING FUNNY
WHEN INNOCENT PEOPLE BLEED
TELL ME WHEN WILL YOU SEE
THAT IT BEGINS WITH THE FAMILY
VERSE 4:
IT’S NOT A SECRET
SOME PEOPLE GROW UP ALONE
BUT THAT’S NOT A REASON
TO IGNORE THE STRENGTH OF HOME
WE’LL ALL BE BETTER OFF
IF WE KEEP THE FAMILY STRONG
TELL ME WHEN WILL YOU SEE
THAT IT BEGINS WITH THE FAMILY
CHORUS:
IF WE’RE UNITED
WHY DON’T WE ALL AGREE
IF WE’RE TRULY A STATE
MAKE STATEMENTS FOR YOU AND ME
NEVER HESITATE
PROTECTING HUMANITY
TELL ME WHEN WILL YOU SEE
IT BEGINS WITH THE FAMILY
BRIDGE:
AT FIRST MY FAMILY PLAYED THE FOOL
AND WE IGNORED THE GOLDEN RULE
AND WE REFUSED TO GET ALONG WITH EACH OTHER
LOVE ONE ANOTHER
ONE DAY WE WOKE UP AND WE COULD SEE
THAT THERE WAS POWER IN UNITY
IT BEGAN
WITH THE FAMILY
UNITED
CHORUS:
WHY DON’T WE ALL AGREE
IF WE’RE TRULY A STATE
MAKE STATEMENTS FOR YOU AND ME
NEVER HESITATE
PROTECTING HUMANITY
TELL ME WHEN WILL YOU SEE
IT BEGINS WITH THE FAMILY
TAG:
LET’S BEGIN, LET’S BEGIN, LET’S BEGIN
AT HOME
TAKE THE FAMILY FURTHER
LET’S BEGIN, LET’S BEGIN, LET’S BEGIN
WITH THE FAMILY
FAMILY
LET’S BEGIN, LET’S BEGIN, LET’S BEGIN
WITH THE FAMILY
FAMILY
TELL ME WHEN WILL YOU SEE
IT BEGINS WITH THE FAMILY
NO MORE HATRED
LET’S BEGIN, LET’S BEGIN, LET’S BEGIN
WITH THE FAMILY
NO MORE JEALOUSY
LET’S BEGIN, LET’S BEGIN, LET’S BEGIN
WITH THE FAMILY
LOVIN’ ONE ANOTHER
LET’S BEGIN, LET’S BEGIN, LET’S BEGIN
WITH THE FAMILY
TELL ME WHEN WILL YOU SEE
IT BEGINS WITH THE FAMILY
COME ON!
LET’S BEGIN, LET’S BEGIN, LET’S BEGIN
WITH THE FAMILY
FAMILY
LET’S BEGIN, LET’S BEGIN, LET’S BEGIN
WITH THE FAMILY
FAMILY
LET’S BEGIN, LET’S BEGIN, LET’S BEGIN
WITH THE FAMILY
FAMILY
TELL ME WHEN WILL YOU SEE
IT BEGINS WITH THE FAMILY
