Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse]
Maybe you were as fortunate
As many of us were
To have grown up in a city
Where love was the undercurrent
We cheered for our sports teams
And many of us were in bands
We learned of love and broken hearts
And how to love and laugh again
[Chorus]
We were one big happy family
And we still are to this day
One big happy family
And that will never change
Yeah, that will never change
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
There were many different faiths
And different colored faces
Yet we still all got along
Oh, sometimes we got into it
But then forgave one another
Before a new day dawned
[Verse]
Although we've moved to other places
Most of us have stayed in touch
Through reunions, calls, and Facebook
Sharing wishes, prayers, and love
I count myself a blessed man
To have grown up where I did
A special place called Oak Park
In the great state of Michigan
[Chorus]
We were one big happy family
And we still are to this day
One big happy family
And that will never change
We were one big happy family
And we still are to this day
One big happy family
And that will never change
[Tag]
Maybe you were as fortunate
[Outro]
