Start with a man and you have one. Add on a woman and then you have two. Add on a child and what have you got? You've got more than three. You've got what they call a family. Living Together, Growing Together, just being together, That's how it starts. Three loving hearts all Pulling together, working together, just building together, That makes you strong.

It's just like a tree Where each branch becomes a family that's Living Together, Growing Together, just being together, That's how it starts. Three loving hearts all Pulling together, working together, just building together, That makes you strong. If things go wrong we'll Still get along somehow, Living and growing together.
