The lyrics to "Family" from the B.S.O. Dreamgirls encapsulate the struggle between the individuals in the group and the needs of the collective "family" as they strive for success in the music industry. The song begins with a sense of individual grievance as one member of the group questions whether the group's goals are aligning with their own needs. They argue that they too deserve consideration, and that their dreams should not be sacrificed for the greater good of the group. However, this is inevitably tempered by the sense of unity and shared goal that the group possesses, each member acknowledging that they depend on one another and that their collective dream is "big enough for all of us to share".
Despite the inherent tension of pursuing individual goals in a group dynamic, the lyrics promote the idea of solidarity and sacrifice to achieve a shared dream. The concept of the "family" is continually reinforced throughout the song, representing not only the close bonds between its members but also a metaphorical tree that can continue to grow and flourish if its roots are deep enough. While individual aspirations and fears may seem to conflict, the ultimate message of the song is that success can only be truly achieved by supporting one another.

No one's doubts or reservations can hold us back as a united family
Whatever dreams we have they're for the family
Our individual dreams are intertwined with the success of the family
We're not alone anymore now they are others there
We have others who support and join us in our family
And that dream's big enough for all of us to share
The dream has space for everyone to contribute and benefit
So think you're going, you're not going anywhere
We are a family and we will not let anyone leave us behind
You're staying and taking your share
Everyone must contribute their fair share to the family
And if you get afraid again, I'll be there
As a family we support each other through the ups and downs
We are a family like a giant tree branching out of the sky
Our family grows and extends like the branches of a giant tree
We are a family, we are so much more than just you and I
Our family is greater than any one individual
Growing stronger, growing wiser, we are growing free
Through working together and supporting each other, we are becoming stronger and more empowered
We need you, we are a family
We want you to join and contribute to our family

Listen
To the song here in my heart
A melody I start but can't complete
Listen
To the sound from deep within
It's only beginning to find release
Oh, the time has come
For my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own, all 'cause you won't listen
Listen
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say what's on my mind
You should have known
Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I've followed the voice you gave to me
But now I've got to find my own
You should have listened
There is someone here inside
Someone I thought had died so long ago
Oh, I'm screamin out
And my dreams will be heard
They will not be pushed aside or worse
Into your own, all 'cause you won't listen
Listen
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say what's on my mind
You should have known
Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I've followed the voice you gave to me
But now I've got to find my own
I don't know where I belong
But I'll be moving on
If you don't, if you won't
Listen
To the song here in my heart
A melody I start but I will complete
Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I've followed the voice you think you gave to me
But now I've got to find my own, my own
