Moving on, splitting up
Trying out new pastures
Just to keep on top. Culture shock.
New mums and dads, uncles and aunts

Back and forth - it's  a strange dance
Hard to figure what the world's about
When the nuclear family's exploding out 

You need family
No good being on your own
living in some twilight zone
Got to have a place called home
A home for the heart 
Where you know that you're known
In the family of friends.

Be the friend you need to someone else
It all comes 'round in the end
In the family of friends. >>   (art: Paula Novak)
