I was waiting, I was singing
I was standing patiently
Who would wait this long for me
Who's gonna sing a song for me

I was smiling, I was walking
Open mind to open miles
Who will crack me a crooked smile
Who'll still climb my crooked stiles

I was crying, I was stumbling
Over broken glass laid tracks
Following ancient portrait maps
Who could tell me, who could tell the paths from cracks

I was talking, I was shouting
Listen please don't turn away
Who turns deaf to what I say
Who will paint my portrait grey

I was crying, I was stumbling
Over broken glass laid tracks
Following ancient portrait maps
Who could tell me, who could tell the paths from cracks

I was waiting, I was singing
I was standing patiently
Who would wait this long for me
Who's gonna sing a song for me

Family

In human context, a family (from Latin: familia) is a group of people affiliated by consanguinity, affinity, or co-residence. In most societies it is the principal institution for the socialization of children. Anthropologists most generally classify family organization as matrilocal (a mother and her children); conjugal (a wife, husband, and children, also called nuclear family); and consanguinal (also called an extended family) in which parents and children co-reside with other members of one parent's family. more »
