Cultural Fire

M.R. Stanton Under lantern glow Hearts beating steady Stories flow Mama's hands kneading dough at dawn Daddy's laugh chasing shadows gone Sisters dancing in the summer rain Brothers wrestling breaking every chain Piscuits by the creek where the willows sway Barefoot races through the golden hay Sunday supper's passing plates around In the middle of the night In this circle love is safe and sound Oh, family ties that never break Through the storms and the sunshine we make Where the roots running deep in the ground Laughter lifting us never back down Hand in hand we face the miles Family forever wearing happy smiles Oh, family ties that never break down Where the roots running deep in the ground Where the roots running deep in the ground Where the roots running deep in the ground Where the roots running deep in the ground Oh, family ties that never break Through the storms and the sunshine we make Where the roots running deep in the ground Laughter lifting us never back down Hand in hand we face the miles Family forever wearing happy smiles Oh, family ties that never break Through the storms and the sunshine we make Laughter lifting us never back down Oh, family ties that never break Through the storms and the sunshine we make Oh, family ties that never break down Oh, family ties that never break down Oh, family ties that never break down Oh, family ties that never break down Oh, family ties that never break down Oh, family ties that never break down Oh, family ties that never break down Oh, family ties that never break down Oh, family ties that never break down Oh, family ties that never break down Oh, family ties that never break down Oh, family ties that never break down Oh, family ties that never break down
