'Cause They're A Family

includes live action shots of the animals and people mentioned

Now, see those birds flapping through the air?
We call them a flock, but they don't care
Now, sometimes I wonder if they know we're there
Well, to them it doesn't matter at all

Now, see those lions roaring fierce and loud?
We call them a pride when they're part of the crowd
And looking like that, anybody'd be proud!
Well, together they're just having a ball

'Cause they're a family, a family!
A flock of birds is just a family, a family!
A pride of lions is a family, a family!
Yeah, the same as my father and my mother and my sister and my brother ...
And me!
We're a family!

Now, see those hyenas roaming 'round the flat?
We call them a pack when they travel like that
Just a'laughing and joking, giving tit for tat
Now, isn't that amazing to you?

Well, there's herds of elephants and broods of chicks
All happy together, all getting kicks
Now, think of all the troubles man could learn to fix
If he just learned to live that way!

'Cause we're a family, a family!
A group of anything's a family, a family!
The world of people is a family, a family!
Yeah, the same as my father and my mother and my sister and my brother ...
And me!
We're a family!
All of us
A family!
