Family
The Dreamgirls Lyrics

What about what I need
I have my own needs and desires that should be taken into account

Curtis says it's the best thing for the group
The group's manager believes that what's best for the group is more important than individual needs

What about what's best for me
I also deserve to have what's best for me considered in decision making

He feels that dreams can cross over
Our manager believes that our dreams can be achieved and shared by everyone in the group

What about how I feel, the one but famous
I am the only famous member of the group and my feelings should also be taken into consideration

I'll write great things for you
I am willing to use my fame and talent to help the group achieve success

Effy do it for me
I am trying to convince my friend Effy to help me achieve my dreams

What about me, what about me
I am feeling neglected and want my concerns to be taken seriously

It's more than you, it is more than me
Our dreams and aspirations are bigger than any one individual, we need to work together as a family to achieve our goals

No matter what we are, we are a family
We are bonded together by our common dreams and goals, and we will support each other as a family

This dream is for all of us, this one can be real
Our dream can be a reality if we work together as a family and support each other

And you can't stop us now because of how you feel
We won't let any obstacles or negative feelings stand in the way of achieving our dream

Whatever dreams we have they're for the family
Our individual dreams and aspirations are important, but they should ultimately be for the benefit of the whole family

We're not alone anymore now they are others there
We have support and a sense of community because we are part of a family

And that dream's big enough for all of us to share
The dream we have is substantial enough to encompass and benefit everyone in the family

So think you're going, you're not going anywhere
We won't let anyone leave the family or abandon the dream, we are in this together

You're staying and taking your share
Everyone needs to take responsibility and do their part in achieving the dream

And if you get afraid again, I'll be there
We will support and encourage each other, even when we face challenges or fears

We are a family like a giant tree branching out of the sky
Our family is like a strong and growing tree, with many branches and opportunities for growth and success

We are a family, we are so much more than just you and I
Our family is an important and connected unit, with a shared purpose and sense of community

Growing stronger, growing wiser, we are growing free
As a family, we are constantly learning, growing, and improving, and are working towards greater freedom and success

We need you, we are a family
Every member of the family is needed and valued, and our success depends on working together as a family
