[Bb] You know the family is the solution [G] to the world's problems today.
[A]
[Bb] Now let's take a look at the family.
In the [G] family, the father is like the head, the [A] leader, [F] the director.
Not domineering, [G] but showing love, guidance, [Eb] for everyone else in the [Bb] family.
And if we could get all the fathers of the [G] world to stand up and be fathers, that would be great.
[A]
[Bb] Then we have mothers, who are the right [G] arm of the father.
That's supposed [A] to [F] do the cooking, [Eb] raise the children, do the sewing, [G] and help the father to guide and [Eb] direct.
[Bb] Then there's the sons.
[G] The sons, most sons [A] are like [Eb] imitators of their [Bb] father.
So we're back again to the [C] father, he is [D] guiding in the [G] right way.
[Ab] The son is [Bb] definitely going to be alright.
Then [G] we have the daughter, watching [Ab] her mother, [Bb] because sooner or later, [Bb] she's going to be [G] a mother.
She'll have her own sons [Ab] and daughters.
[Bb] It don't just stop there with the family of
[G] yours or mine.
It's a universal family, [Bb] under one divine purpose, one [G] divine father.
That is, [Ab]
[Bb] we all come together, no matter what [F] color, [G] race, creed, because that's all in the head.
Whether you want to believe it [Ab] or not, [Bb] because you'll believe.
