Well this is my family affair 'Cuz we're all family here And I'm tired of the secrets that we keep Buried beneath our family tree It's time to dig up these old bones That have been poisoning our roots And make amends to all our ghosts So they can finally be at home Home, always I remember being scared of the hollers My dad laid his fists upon my mom But my mother she did use my father To pay her penance all along So we grew up in this broken cradle Thinking it's us who owns everything When all we own is our bodies And inside is where we are King Home, always home Home, always home We're always home We get blinded by the future We get deafened by the past While the present, she dances and sings for us Free at last! Free at last! Free at last! Well I don't mean to preach But preaching be in my blood My ancestors they speak through me They say God is in you, not up above Home, always home Home, always home Home, always home Home, always home We're always home When I die I won't be gone for good So don't fill my body with poison like they say you should Just lay my body in the ground With pretty flowers all around Just lay my body in the ground With pretty flowers all around Well this is my family affair Cuz we're all family here
