BRING THE FAMILY BACK by Billy Paul

Haven't you noticed
A breakdown in the family tie
Just not as strong as it once was
Every time I see it weaken, it makes me want to cry

Oh, what a shame [Oh, what a shame]
'Cause another home's falling apart
Oh, what a shame [Oh ,what a shame]
Another group of broken hearts

It's not a secret
We all know that it's slipping away
Don't let it go, no, don't you let it go
It is the only true foundation on which we can survive

Don't be afraid [Don't be afraid]
'Cause you got to take it for a stand
Don't be afraid [Don't be afraid]
You've got to try to understand

Bring the family back, bring it back together
Bring the family back
Bring the family back, bring it back together
Together

Bring the family back, bring it back together
Bring the family back

There's also the children
The future's quickly comin' their way
How it will be
Oh, tell me how do you think it will be

Will they all join hands together and live in harmony

Oh, what a shame [Oh, what a shame]
If we don't get together fast
Oh what a shame [Oh what a shame]
How much longer will the whole thing last

Bring the family back, bring 'em back together
Bring the family back
Bring the family back, bring the family back and together

Bring the family back and live in harmony
Bring the family back
Bring back family unity

Bring the family back, bring 'em back together
Bring the family back
Bring the family back together, bring 'em family back
Bring 'em back together

Bring the family back and live in harmony
Bring the family back
Bring the family back, where's the unity
Bring the family back

Bring the old folks, the young folks, and all folks together
Just bring the people back
Bring the family back [Bring the family back, bring it back together]
[Bring the family back]

Bring the family back
Bring the family back
Bring the family back
Bring it all the time together

Bring the family back together [Bring the family back, bring it back together]
[Bring the family back]
[Bring the family back, bring it back together]
[Bring the family back]
[Bring the family back]

CITIZENS WITHOUT LEADERS

Due to the gross lack of leadership,i should say..STRONG AND GOOD leadership,millions and ten's of millions of young teenagers ( and get this, even 'so called' ADULTS )and a large number of them too, are acting very irresponsible in our society,any wonder,that things are way, way out of hand?....look at the behavior..being display, and you must agree, that CERTAIN types of music, is and are having disastrous effects on the young and old that are easily influence...and, can you blame them?..well, YES and NO....

Music, no matter which type is very influential...you, need to be very selective and mature to appreciate,how dangerous the influence can have on an individual. especially young people,they are the most vulnerable,and influence,they will not admit it....because they are almost young adults, and feel very independent,and may feel that they are old enough to choose their type of music....so, you have to take a different approach when discussing MUSIC with them..make no mistake, parents....they NEED your help, advice and guidance on this very serious TOPIC!

FOR EXAMPLE:........MUSIC CAN DO ALL OF THIS:...some encourage civil disobedience,to disrespect the law or law officers of the land, egg you on to have sex, smoke ,drink-alcohol,take drugs,behave indecent,provoke anger,even.....lead you on to kill!...YOU KNOW FULLY WELL THE TYPE I AM REFERRING TO, DON'T YOU? YES....

The above,is just the tip of the ice-berg...SO GREAT GUIDANCE AND LEADERSHIP IS VERY URGENTLY NEEDED,..you, the parents and elders in the community has the experience, and the wisdom,that is so sorely needed by these young ones.....i urge you to help where ever possible, and the earlier the better...cause ,they only feel they know better......but trust me....they don't.

Do you realize,that in all areas of our lives, we are rapidly going downhill?..i am sure you do! you must have notice it,just look around you, you can tell, of all the harmful effects and ills in our society,order is desperately needed..and YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

AS LEADERS you are not naive..no, not at all, if anything, you are "MASTERS" of the art of appearing oblivious as to the plight of the young ones, in our midst.and many parents by extent ion, has FAILED AND LET DOWN their children, by not taking and showing by example the DANGERS of bad and influential music....but its not to late my fellow parents, you can still save your children ,,,,,yes, by being PARENTS.......and not leaving it up to your kids to choose what music to play and listen to!,,,,,DO THE RIGHT THING....ok?!

PLAY GOOD AND HEALTHY AND BENEFICIAL MUSIC,,,,,,,,,FOR AND WITH THEM.how hard could that be?...ummmm....YOUR PATIENCE AND LOVE IS VERY MUCH NEEDED BY YOUR KIDS/CHILDREN,,,SO DO IT TODAY !
