Cause I've got friends, I've got family here
They say these kids are diseased,
But we've got love to share
Cause God knows where we've been,
But not where we're going
And when the water is too deep to swim,
We still swim
Cause I've got friends, I've got family here (x2)
I will sleep down on the beaches,
And you will swim from shore to open shore
Cause I've got friends, I've got family here (x2)
Cut me down to firewood and carve our names (x2)
Cause I've got friends, I've got family here.
