Jump5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah [Repeat: x2]
Everyone can see we're together
As we walk on by
And we fly just like birds of a feather
(And we tell no lies- no lies!)
How can they be that close
Just let me state for the record
We're givin' love like a family dose, oh yeah
We are family, we are family
I got all my sisters with me, I got all my sisters with me
We are family, we are family
Get up everybody and sing
We are family, we are family
I got all my sisters with me, I got all my sisters with me
We are family (family)
Get up everybody and sing
Livin' life is fun and we've just begun
To get our share of the world's delights
High hopes we have for the future
And our goal's in sight
No, we don't get depressed
Here's what we call our golden rule
Have faith in you and the things you do
You won't go wrong- oh no
This is our family jewel, yeh yeah
We are family, we are family
I got all my sisters with me

Get up everybody and sing it to me, sing it now!
