Best Songs About Family:

Because You Loved Me

Song by Celine Dion

This song is about a parent thanking their child for all the love they’ve received.

Lyrics:

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful, baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through, through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me, ooh baby

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand, I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love, I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak (you were my strength)
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me, oh

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies, you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak (you were my strength)
You were my voice when I couldn't speak (oh when I couldn't speak)
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me, yeah-yeah

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak (my voice)
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me, oh

I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

A Song for Mama

Song by Boyz II Men

This song is about a son’s gratitude towards his mother and explains all the things his mother has done for him throughout his life and how she has always been there for him.

Lyrics:

You taught me everything

And everything you've given me
I'll always keep it inside
You're the driving force in my life, yeah

There isn't anything
Or anyone that I could be
And it just wouldn't feel right
If I didn't have you by my side

You were there for me to love and care for me
When the skies were gray
Whenever I was down
You were always there to comfort me

And no one else can be
What you have been to me, you will always be
You will always be the girl
In my life for all times

Mama, mama, you know I love you
(You know I love you)
Mama, mama, you're the queen of my heart
Your love is like tears from the stars, yes, it is
Mama, I just want you to know, lovin' you is like food to my soul
Yes it is, yes it is, oh, yes it is, yes it is, yes it is, oh

You're always there for me
Have always been around for me, even when I was bad
You showed me right from wrong
Yes, you did

And you took up for me
When everyone was downin' me
You always understand
You gave me the strength to go on

There were so many times
Looking back when I was so afraid
And then you'd come to me and say to me
I could face anything

And no one else can do
What you have done for me
You'll always be, you will always be
The girl in my life, ooh, oh

Mama, mama, you know I love you
(You know I love you, you know I love you)
Mama, mama, you're the queen of my heart (you are)
Your love is like tears from the stars
(Your love is like tears from the stars)
Mama, I just want you to know (ooh, mama I just want you to know)
Lovin' you is like food to my soul

Never gonna go a day without you
Fills me up just thinkin' about you
I'll never go a day without my mama

Mama, mama, you know I love you
Mama, mama, you're the queen of my heart (the queen of my heart)
Your love is like tears from the stars
(Your love is like tears from the stars)
Mama, I just want you to know
Lovin' you is like food to my soul

Lovin' you is like food to my soul, oh yeah
You are the food to my soul, yes, you are

Because Of You

Song by Kelly Clarkson

This song is about Clarkson’s difficult relationship with her father and explains the pain she felt, as well as how she was able to forgive him and move on.

Lyrics:

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself 'cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way, to never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side, so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only myself but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lost my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh
Every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side, so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only myself but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die (I watched you die)
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young (and you're so young)
You should have known better (I was too young for you)
Than to lean on me

You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain (you never saw me)
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only myself but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you

BROTHERHOOD

Song by Stormzy

This song is about brotherhood and unity. 

Lyrics:

Look, yo

Half of your mandem are locked up
Pissed or bunning but (bunning buy)
Them cold arse nights on the strip
Never done him good (done him good)
Ride for my team
And I ride like my brothers would (brothers would)
And we don't make friends around here
Round here, it's brotherhood (brotherhood)
We don't make friends around here
Round here, it's brotherhood (brotherhood)
We don't make friends around here
Round here, it's brotherhood (brotherhood)
We don't make friends around here
Round here, it's brotherhood (brotherhood)
We don't make friends around here
Round here, it's a brotherhood

Yeah, welcome to hell
Bring your G, man, he's welcome as well
Tell the police to release all my team
Do it ASAP before I come to bail them out myself
Old school beef with some old school youts
But I'm real old school, I'll sort him out
I did some things that I never intended
Fucked up streets
There's fucked up beef that's never been ended
I won't act like I've never been tempted
To grab my gun and go to war
To grab my gun with no remorse
To catch the yout and blow my torch
And kill the prick and go to court
Who cares what you did back then?
Round here, young Gs don't think twice
Come to your block with the big MAC-10
Yo, fuckboy, should've stayed inside
Man don't care about your name on the roads
Don't come around here thinking you're tough
We don't care what you did in '06
Just know real niggas call your bluff, yo

Half of your mandem are locked up
Pissed or bunning but (bunning buy)
Them cold arse nights on the strip
Never done him good (done him good)
Ride for my team
And I ride like my brothers would (brothers would)
And we don't make friends around here
Round here, it's brotherhood (brotherhood)
We don't make friends around here
Round here, it's brotherhood (brotherhood)
We don't make friends around here
Round here, it's brotherhood (brotherhood)
We don't make friends around here
Round here, it's brotherhood (brotherhood)
We don't make friends around here
Round here, it's a brotherhood

Cat's in the Cradle

Song by Harry Chapin

This song is about a father who regrets not spending enough time with his son.

Lyrics:

My child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew
He'd say "I'm gonna be like you, Dad"
"You know I'm gonna be like you"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When are you coming home, Dad?" "I don't know when"
But we'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then

My son turned ten just the other day
He said, thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play
Can you teach me to throw, I said, not today
I got a lot to do, he said, that's okay
And he, he walked away, but his smile never dimmed
It said I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When are you coming home, Dad?" "I don't know when"
But we'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then

Well, he came from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?
He shook his head, and they said with a smile
What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later, can I have them, please?

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when"
But we'll get together then, dad
You know we'll have a good time then

I've long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said I'd like to see you if you don't mind
He said, I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time
You see, my new job's a hassle, and the kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, dad
It's been sure nice talking to you
And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when"
But we'll get together then, dad
We're gonna have a good time then

Daughters

Song by John Mayer

This song explains a father’s love for his daughter and how he wants her to be happy in life.

Lyrics:

I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
She's just like a maze
Where all of the walls continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to their daughters too...

Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left cleaning up the mess he made

So fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to their daughters too

Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong and boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without warmth from a woman's good, good heart...

On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the guide and the weight of her world

So fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too

Family Is Family

Song by Kacey Musgraves

This song is about a family that may not be perfect but is filled with love.

Lyrics:

They're there for your first year, they give you your first beer
When you get your heart broken, they're there for your worst year
Don't get you at all, but your apple doesn't fall too far from 'em

They own too much wicker and drink too much liquor
You'd wash your hands of them, but blood's always thicker
You might look just like 'em, but that doesn't mean you're like 'em
But you love 'em

Family is family, in church or in prison
You get what you get, and you don't get to pick 'em
They might smoke like chimneys, but they give you their kidneys
Yeah, friends come in handy, but family is family

They're there when you're married, divorced, and remarried
You fall out of touch, but then someone gets buried
And you're right back together like no time has ever gone by

Can't live with or without 'em, you might talk about 'em
But if someone else does, well, then you'll knock 'em out 'cause
When it's all said and done, they're the only ones that you got

Family is family, in church or in prison
You get what you get, and you don't get to pick 'em
They might smoke like chimneys, but they give you their kidneys
Yeah, friends come in handy, but family is family

Yeah, family is funny, they'll ask you for money
Even though they know you ain't got no money
They show up at Christmas, get up in your business
They might not be fancy, but family is family

You might look just like 'em, but that doesn't mean you're like 'em
But you love 'em

Family Man

Song by Fleetwood Mac

This song explains how a man puts family needs before his own and it is a great reminder that our families are always worth fighting for.

Lyrics:

Walk down this road
When the road gets rough
I fall down
I get up
I am what I am (am what I am, I am what I am, am what I am)
A family man (a family man)
I am what I am (am what I am, I am what I am, am what I am)
A family man (a family man)

Mother, father, brother
Mother, father, brother

Walk down this road
In the cool of the night
Don't know what's wrong
But I do know what's right
I am what I am (am what I am, I am what I am, am what I am)
A family man (a family man)
I am what I am (am what I am, I am what I am, am what I am)
A family man (a family man)

Mother, father, brother
Mother, father, brother

I am what I am (am what I am, I am what I am, am what I am)
A family man (a family man)
I am what I am (am what I am, I am what I am, am what I am)
A family man (a family man)

Mother, father, brother
Mother, father, brother

Father and Daughter

Song by Paul Simon

This song explains about growing up and moving away from home.

Lyrics:

If you leap awake
In the mirror of a bad dream
And for a fraction of a second
You can't remember where you are
Just open your window
And follow your memory upstream
To the meadow in the mountain
Where we counted every falling star

I believe the light that shines on you
Will shine on you forever (forever)
And though I can't guarantee
There's nothing scary hiding under your bed
I'm gonna stand guard
Like a postcard of a Golden Retriever
And never leave 'til I leave you
With a sweet dream in your head

I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father who loved his daughter
More than I love you

Trust your intuition
It's just like goin' fishin'
You cast your line and hope you get a bite
But you don't need to waste your time
Worryin' about the marketplace
Try to help the human race
Struggling to survive its harshest night

I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father who loved his daughter
More than I love you

I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father who loved his daughter
More than I love you (I love you)

Father and Son

Song by Cat Stevens

This song explains the son's relationship with his father.

Lyrics:

It's not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to know

Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old
But I'm happy

I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found
Something going on

But take your time, think a lot
Think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not

How can I try to explain?
When I do he turns away again
It's always been the same
Same old story
From the moment I could talk
I was ordered to listen, now there's a way
And I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go

It's not time to make a change
Just sit down, take it slowly
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to go through

Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old
But I'm happy

All the times that I've cried
Keeping all the things I knew inside
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
If they were right I'd agree
But it's them they know, not me
Now there's a way
And I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go

Father Figure

Song by George Michael

This song talks about the struggles of being a father and how it’s not always easy.

Lyrics:

That's all I wanted
Something special, something sacred
In your eyes
For just one moment
To be bold and naked
At your side
Sometimes I think that you'll never
Understand me
Maybe this time is forever
Say it can be, whoa

That's all you wanted
Something special, someone sacred
In your life
Just for one moment
To be warm and naked
At my side

Sometimes I think that you'll never
Understand me
But something tells me together
We'd be happy, oh oh

I will be your father figure
(Oh baby)
Put your tiny hand in mine
(I'd love to)
I will be your preacher teacher
(Be your daddy)
Anything you have in mind
(It would make me)
I will be your father figure
(Very happy)
I have had enough of crime
(Please let me)
I will be the one who loves you
'Til the end of time

That's all I wanted
But sometimes love can be mistaken
For a crime
That's all I wanted
Just to see my baby's
Blue eyes shine
This time I think that my lover
Understands me
If we have faith in each other
Then we can be
Strong, baby

I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
I will be the one who loves you
'Til the end of time

If you are in the desert
I'll be the sea
If you ever hunger
Hunger for me
Whatever you ask for
That's what I'll be

So when you remember the ones who have lied
Who said that they cared
But then laughed as you cried
Beautiful darling
Don't think of me

Because all I ever wanted
It's in your eyes, baby
And love can't lie, no
(Greet me with the eyes of a child)
My love is always tellin' me so
(Heaven is a kiss and a smile)
Just hold on, hold on
I won't let you go, my baby

I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind, baby
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
(So I am gonna love you)
'Til the end of time
I will be your father
I will be your preacher
I will be your daddy, whoa
I will be the one who loves you 'til the end of time

Hey Jude

Song by The Beatles

This song explains how to deal with hardships and how family can help you through them.

Lyrics:

Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Hey Jude, don't be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.

Hey Jude, don't let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin,
You're waiting for someone to perform with.
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.

Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then you'll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh.

Na na na nananana, nannana, hey Jude...

Lyrics:

Hold on dear brother
Hold on dear brother
Hold on dear brother
Oh brother

Tried to close my eyes
To all around me
Oh no you just can't escape
If I lose one friend
Will I still have you
Won't you please
Hold on dear brother
Hold on dear brother
Hold on dear brother
Oh brother
Oo

What can I love that isn't you
But you never understand inside of me
Till you realize a look
You never get more than you took

Won't you please
Hold on dear brother
Hold on dear brother
Hold on dear brother
Oh brother
Brother

In your heart you know it love
A simple feeling that you shout
I want your love
You touch my hand
I need your love
To carry me home

In your heart you know it love
A simple feeling that you shout
I want your love
You touch my
I need your love
To carry me home

Hold on dear brother
Hold on dear brother
Hold on dear brother
Hold on dear brother
Hold on dear brother
Hold on dear brother

Mockingbird 

Song by Eminem

This song is about a close relationship with a daughter and how a father will always protect her.

Lyrics:

Yeah
I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now
But hey, what does daddy always tell you?
Straighten up little soldier
Stiffen up that upper lip
What are you crying about?
You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad
When I'm gone I'm trying to give you the life that I never had
I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh
I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry
'Cause you're scared, I ain't there?
Daddy's with you in your prayers
No more crying, wipe them tears
Daddy's here, no more nightmares
We gonna pull together through it, we gonna do it
Laney's uncle is crazy, ain't he?
Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it
We're all we have in this world
When it spins, when it swirls
When it whirls, when it twirls
Two little beautiful girls
Lookin' puzzled, in a daze
I know it's confusing for you
Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news
I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems
The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me
All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see
Daddy doesn't want you to see but you see just as much as he did
We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me
But things have gotten so bad between us
I don't see us ever being together ever again
Like we used to be when we were teenagers
But then of course everything always happens for a reason
I guess it was never meant to be
But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is
But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream
Now hush little baby, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I told ya
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
I know Mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
We fear how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, but pretty baby
But I promise momma's gonna be alright
It's funny
I remember back one year when Daddy had no money
Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up
And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me
'Cause daddy couldn't buy 'em
I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying
'Cause daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job
But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom
And at the time every house that we lived in
Either kept getting broken into and robbed
Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar
Tryin' to start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college
Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it
And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart
And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart
Mom and Dad were arguin' a lot so Momma moved back
On the Chalmers in the one-bedroom apartment
And Dad moved back to the other side of 8 miles on Novara
And that's when Daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre
And flew you and momma out to see me
But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me
Then you started seeing Daddy on the t.V. And Momma didn't like it
And you and Laney were too young to understand it
Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit
And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it firsthand
'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
Now I'm sittin' in this empty house, just reminiscing
Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out
To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now
Wow, guess you pretty much are and Daddy's still here
Laney, I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here
I like the sound of that, yeah
It's got a ring to it, doesn't it?
Shh, momma's only gone for the moment
Now hush little baby, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I told ya
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
I know Mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
We fear how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, but pretty baby
But I promise momma's gonna be alright
And if you ask me too
Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
Ima give you the world
Ima bought a diamond ring for you
Ima sing for you
I'll do anything for you to see you smile
And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine
Ima broke that birdie's neck
I'd go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
And make him eat every carat don't f with dad (ha)

I’ll Always Love My Mama

Song by The Intruders

This song is about a son’s gratitude towards his mother and explains all the things his mother has done for him throughout his life and how she has always been there for him. He promised to always love her and be there for her, just like she was for him. 

Lyrics:

I'll always love my mama
She's my favorite girl
I'll always love my mama
She brought me into this world

Sometimes I feel so bad
When I think of all the things I used to do
How Mama used to clean somebody else's house
Just to buy me a new pair of shoes

I never understood how mama made it through the week
When she never ever got a good night's sleep

Talking 'bout mama
She's one of a kind
Talking 'bout mama
You've got your yours, and I've got mine
Talking 'bout mama
Oh, hey Mama, hey Mama, my heart belongs to you

I'll always love my mama
She's my favorite girl
You only get one, you only get one, yeah
I'll always love my mama
She brought me into this world

A mother's love is so special
It's something that you can't describe
It's the kind of love that stays with you
Until the day you die

She taught me little things like "Say Hello and Thank you, please"
While scrubbing those floors on her bended knees

Talking 'bout mama
She's one of a kind
Talking 'bout mama
You've got your yours and I've got mine
Talking 'bout mama
Oh, hey Mama, hey Mama, my heart belongs to you

I'll always love my mama
She's my favorite girl
You only get one, you only get one
I'll always love my mama
She brought me into this world

I'll always love my mama
I'll always love my mama
I'll always love my mama
I'll always love my mama

I'll always love my mama
I'll always love my mama
I'll always love my mama
I'll always love my mama

I'll always love my mama
She's my favorite girl
I'll always love my mama
She brought me into this world

I'll always love my mama
I'll always love my mama
I'll always love my mama
I'll always love my mama

I'll always love my mama
I'll always love my mama

I’m Already There

Song by Lonestar

In this song, a man assures his loved ones that he will always be there for them, even when he is far away.

Lyrics:

He called her on the road
From a lonely cold hotel room
Just to hear her say, I love you one more time
But when he heard the sound
Of the kids laughing in the background
He had to wipe away a tear from his eye
A little voice came on the phone
Said, "Daddy, when are you coming home?"
He said the first thing that came to his mind

I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
I'm your imaginary friend
And I know, I'm in your prayers
Oh, I'm already there

She got back on the phone
Said, "I really miss you, darling"
Don't worry about the kids, they'll be alright
Wish I was in your arms
Lying right there beside you
But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight
And I'll gently kiss your lips
Touch you with my fingertips
So turn out the light and close your eyes

I'm already there
Don't make a sound
I'm the beat in your heart
I'm the moonlight shining down
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there 'til the end
Can you feel the love that we share?
Oh, I'm already there

We may be a thousand miles apart
But I'll be with you wherever you are

I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there 'til the end
Can you feel the love that we share?
Oh, I'm already there

Oh, I'm already
There

I'll Be There

Song by Mariah Carey and Trey Lorenz

This song is about the relationship between a father and daughter, but it applies to any close family relationship. 

Lyrics:

You and I must make a pact
We must bring salvation back
Where there is love, I'll be there (I'll be there)

I'll reach out my hand to you
I'll have faith in all you do
Just call my name and I'll be there (I'll be there)

And oh-oh-oh, I'll be there to comfort you
I'll build my world of dreams around you
I'm so glad I found you, yeah
I'll be there with a love so strong
I'll be your strength
You know I'll keep holdin' on

Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter
Togetherness, well, it's all I'm after
Just call my name and I'll be there (I'll be there, yeah)

I'll be there to protect you (yeah, baby)
With an unselfish love that respects you
Just call my name, and I'll be there (I'll be there)

And oh-oh-oh, I'll be there to comfort you
Build my world of dreams around you
You know I'm so glad that I found you, so glad, baby
I'll be there with a love so strong
I'll be your strength (be your strength)
You know I'll keep holdin' on

If you should ever find someone new
I know she better be good to you
'Cause if she doesn't
Then I'll be there (I'll be there)

Don't you know baby, yeah, yeah
I'll be there
I'll be there, yeah
Just call my name (I'll be there) and I'll be there

I'll be there baby
You know I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Just call my name (I'll be there) and I'll be there

Just look up at your shoulder
Just call my name (yeah) and I'll be there

Thank you

Best Songs About Family's Love, Struggles & Strength:

Keep the Family Close 

Song by Drake

This song is about Drake’s complicated relationship with his family. This song explains how his mother and father were never together and how he was raised by his grandmother.

Lyrics:

It's a little chilly out there
How you can stand there is beyond me

All of my "let's just be friends"
Are friends I don't have any more
How do you not check on me when things go wrong?
Guess I should've tried to keep my family closer
Much closer
All of my "let's just be friends"
Are friends I don't have any more
Guess it's what they say you need a family for
'Cause I can't depend on you anymore

Always saw you for what you could've been
Ever since you met me
When Chrysler made that one-car
That looked just like the Bentley
I always saw you for what you could've been
And even when it's business with you it's personal gain
I knew you before you made ends meet
And now we're meeting our end

And it's all because you chose a side
You're supposed to put your pride aside and ride for me
Guess it wasn't time (yeah)
And of course, you went and chose a side that wasn't mine

You're so predictable, I hate people like you
Kennedy Road taught me not to trust people like you
How are you supposed to figure out what I'm going through?
You can't even figure out what's going on with you
You judge me 'fore you met me, yeah, it figures
I make all the players anthems for the real niggas
With my dad out in Tennessee where I belong
Out here in L.A., I don't know what's going on (yeah)
I don't know what's going on

And it's all because you chose a side
You're supposed to put your pride aside and ride for me
Guess it wasn't time (yeah)
And of course, you went and chose a side that wasn't mine

You sit and pray hoping that the stars align
My luck is a sure thing 'cause I'm living right
When I needed you, you couldn't give me any advice
But you always had something to say every other time
Everybody that I met on the way tried to get in the way
I'm folding and serving 'em all like I work for minimum wage
Someone up there must just love testing my patience
Someone up there must need some entertainment
Forgiveness for your ways
If I ever loved ya, I'll always love ya, that's how I was raised
In the same way, I'm right here still feeling away
In the same way, I'm realizing on a day-to-day that

All of my "let's just be friends"
Are friends I don't have any more
How do you not check on me when things go wrong?
Guess I should've tried to keep my family closer
Much closer
All of my "let's just be friends"
Are friends I don't have any more
Guess it's what they say you need your family for
'Cause I can't depend on you anymore
Much closer

Any time people wanna start problems
It's like "For real, are you dumb?"
Do you know who men are?
I'm not afraid no gyal heart man
And I'm not afraid of no cattle
And I'm not afraid of no waste to yet neither
So anybody who wants it can get it
Seh feh

Hey Brother 

Song by Avicii

This song explains how the family is everything and no matter what, they will always be there for you. 

Lyrics:

Hey brother
There's an endless road to rediscover
Hey sister
Know that water's sweet, but blood is thicker
Oh, if the sky comes falling down
For you
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do

Hey brother
Do you still believe in one another?
Hey sister
Do you still believe in love? I wonder
Oh, if the sky comes falling down
For you
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do

What if I'm far from home?
Oh, brother, I will hear you call
What if I lose it all?
Oh sister, I will help you out
Oh, if the sky comes falling down
For you
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do

Hey brother
There's an endless road to rediscover
Hey sister
Do you still believe in love? I wonder
Oh, if the sky comes falling down
For you
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do

What if I'm far from home?
Oh, brother, I will hear you call
What if I lose it all?
Oh sister, I will help you out
Oh, if the sky comes falling down
For you
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do

My Father’s Eyes 

It is a song by Eric Clapton

This song was written by Eric Clapton for his father, whom he never met, and explains the longing for a father’s love and the pain of not having it.

Lyrics:

Sailing down behind the sun
Waiting for my prince to come
Praying for the healing rain
To restore my soul again

Just a toe rag on the run
How did I get here?
What have I done?
When will all my hopes arise?
How will I know him?
When I look in my father's eyes

My father's eyes
When I look in my father's eyes (look into my father's eyes)
My father's eyes

Then the light begins to shine
And I hear those ancient lullabies
And as I watch this seedling grow
Feel my heart start to overflow

Where do I find the words to say?
How do I teach him?
What do we play?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That's when I need them
That's when I need my father's eyes

My father's eyes
That's when I need my father's eyes (look into my father's eyes)
My father's eyes (yeah)

Then the jagged edge appears
Through the distant clouds of tears
I'm like a bridge that was washed away
My foundations were made of clay

As my soul slides down to die
How could I lose him?
What did I try?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That he was here with me
And I looked into my father's eyes

My father's eyes
I looked into my father's eyes (look into my father's eyes)
My father's eyes

My father's eyes (look into my father's eyes)
My father's eyes
I looked into my father's eyes (looked into my father's eyes)
My father's eyes
(Look into my father's eyes)
(Look into my father's eyes, yeah, yeah)

Never Grow Up 

Song by Taylor Swift

This song is about the pains of growing up and leaving your family behind. Even though you’re all grown up, you’ll always be their child.

Lyrics:

Your little hand's wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreamin'
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light
To you, everything's funny
You have nothing to regret
I'd give all I have honey
If you could stay like that

Oh, darlin', don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh, darlin', don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple
I won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
And no one will desert you
Just try to never grow up
Never grow up

You're in the car on the way to the movies
And you're mortified your mom's droppin' you off
At fourteen, there's just so much you can't do
And you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots
But don't make her drop you off around the block
Remember that she's gettin' older too
And don't lose the way that you dance
Around in your PJs getting ready for school

Oh, darlin', don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh, darlin', don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple
And no one's ever burned you
Nothing's ever left you scarred
And even though you want to
Just try to never grow up

Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
Memorize what it sounded like when your dad got home
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
And all your little brother's favorite songs
I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone

So here I am in my new apartment
In a big city, they just dropped me off
It's so much colder than I thought it would be
So I tuck myself in and turn my nightlight on

Wish I'd never grown up
I wish I'd never grown up

Oh, I don't wanna grow up
Wish I'd never grown up
Could still be little
Oh, I don't wanna grow up
Wish I'd never grown up
It could still be simple
Oh, darlin', don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh, darlin', don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple
I won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
And even though you want to
Please try to never grow up
Oh, oh
Don't you ever grow up
Oh (never grow up)
Just never grow up

Oh Mother 

Song by Christina Aguilera

This song talks about the trials and tribulations that mothers go through raising their children.

Lyrics:

Oh-oh, yeah

She was so young with such innocent eyes
She always dreamt of a fairytale life
And all the things your money can't buy
She thought that he was a wonderful guy
Then suddenly, things seemed to change
It was the moment she took on his name
He took his anger out on her face
She kept all of her pain locked away

Oh, mother, we're stronger
From all of the tears you have shed
Oh Mother, don't look back
Cause he'll never hurt us again
So, mother, I thank you (Thank you)
For all you've done and still do (Still do)
You got me, I got you
Together, we always pull through
We always pull through
We always pull through
Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother

It was the day that he turned on the kids
That she knew she just had to leave him
So many voices inside her head
Saying over and over and over
"You deserve much more than this"
She was so sick of believing the lies and trying to hide
Covering the cuts and bruises (Cuts and bruises)
So tired of defending her life, she could have died
Fighting for the lives of her children

Oh, mother, we're stronger
From all of the tears you have shed (All of the tears you have shed)
Oh Mother, don't look back (Yeah)
Cause he'll never hurt us again (He'll never hurt us again)
So, mother, I thank you (Thank you)
For all that you've done and still do (Still do)
You got me, I got you, (Cause you got me and I got you)
Together, we always pull through
Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother (Yeah, yeah)

All of your life you have spent
Burying hurt and regret
But Mama, he'll never touch us again
For every time he tried to break you down
Just remember who's still around
It's over, and we're stronger
And we'll never have to go back again

Oh, mother, we're stronger
From all of the tears you have shed (Whoa)
Oh Mother, don't look back again
'Cause he'll never hurt us again
So mother, I thank you (Thank you for all that you've done)
For all that you've done and still do
You got me, I got you
Together, we always pull through
Always pull through, yeah
We always pull through
Yeah

I love you, mom

The Exchange 

Song by Torres

This song is about Torres’ experience as a child of divorced parents and explains the feeling of always being in transit, never really feeling at home anywhere.

Lyrics:

My mother lost her mother twice
Once in '54, then later in life
The exchange was quick and quiet
The records sealed, the names made private
Her search began and ended with a judge
Her papers had been claimed in a freak basement flood
An entire family tree
An eternal privacy

I am afraid to see my heroes age
I am afraid of disintegration
If you're not here, I cannot be here for you
If you're not here,
I cannot be alone
And I don't think you can pull me out of this

There's virgin oil painted over my door
And hotel soap from every city
Lined up in my window
Blew my per diem on an eighth of Blue Dream
So I can breathe but I still can't breathe
Around my mouth, a brown paper bag
Founding fathers on my back

Afraid to see my hero age
I am afraid of disintegration
If you're not here, I cannot be here for you
If you're not here,
I cannot be alone

I've so much that I want to sing
But there's no room for toothbrushes and poetry, I
Pray to Jesus Christ incessantly, I
Shine my shoes for the Fat Lady, I'm still

I am afraid to see my heroes age
I am afraid of disintegration
If you're not here, I cannot be here for you
If you're not here,
I cannot be alone
And I don't think you can pull me out of this

I will no longer claim to know
Where do we go when it's time to go
But when you go, will I go too?
When you go, I am going too

The House That Built Me 

Song by Miranda Lambert

This song explains the singer’s childhood and her relationship with her father.

Lyrics:

I know they say you can't go home again
I just had to come back one last time
Ma'am, I know you don't know me from Adam
But these hand prints on the front steps are mine

Up those stairs in that little back bedroom
Is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar
And I bet you didn't know under that live oak
My favorite dog is buried in the yard

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here, it's like I'm someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself

If I could just come in, I swear I'll leave
Won't take nothin' but a memory
From the house that built me

Momma cut out pictures of houses for years
From better homes and garden magazine
Plans were drawn and concrete poured
Nail by nail and board by board
Daddy gave life to Momma's dream

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here, it's like I'm someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself

If I could just come in, I swear I'll leave
Won't take nothin' but a memory
From the house that built me

You leave home, you move on
And you do the best you can
I got lost in this whole world
And forgot who I am

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here, it's like I'm someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself

If I could walk around, I swear I'd leave
Won't take nothin' but a memory
From the house that built me

Wouldn’t Mama Be Proud  

Song by Elliott Smith

This song is about Smith’s strained relationship with his mother and stepfather and explains how hard it is to make your family proud, even when you try your best.

Lyrics:

The question is wouldn't Mama be proud?
There's a silver lining in the corporate cloud
And the pretty post that you're taking as
As an NCO of the great pretender
I should sure think so

Wouldn't Mama be proud?

"Can I take your order?"
Asks the heavenly host
Ticket to the Jetstream
Blowing coast-to-coast

The long-stemmed glasses, a movie
And a pleasant dream in mid-air
You gotta tell me quickly
'Cause we're almost there

Wouldn't Mama be proud?

Pointed out of the window
At the sky gone black
Kid, you're on the right track

If I send you postcards
From the side of the road
Photographs of moving
Parts about to explode

If I call to keep it together
Like you say I can do
To transmit a moment
From me to you

Wouldn't Mama be proud?
Wouldn't Mama be proud?
Wouldn't Mama be proud?
Wouldn't Mama be proud?

In My Room 

Song by The Beach Boys

This song explains the picture of a teen who locks himself in his room to cope with teenage struggles.

Lyrics:

There's a world where I can go
And tell my secrets to
In my room
In my room

In this world, I am locked out
All my worries and my fears
In my room
In my room

Do my dreaming and my scheming
Lie awake and pray
Do my crying and my sighing
Laugh at yesterday

Now it's dark and I'm alone
But I won't be afraid
In my room
In my room

In my room, in my room
In my room, in my room
