about

A song about how music connects people from all over the world, and more particular a celebration of our friendship with our 'adopted family' in Texas.

lyrics

So many miles away and not a lot of words of wisdom
But there’s always a place to stay and think of all the songs we need
They’re brightening up the day with bittersweet confirmation
And we play what we want to play in the great big family

I want to be part of the great big family

It’s hotter than hell on earth but still you feel a breeze of freedom
Remember the news we heard, talking about liberty
So many souls got stirred, paradise is turning darker
But then again it’s the place of birth of the great big family

I want to be part of the great big family
I want to be part of the great big family

What is the spice of life next to love, art and music
Busy from 9 to 5 you need a way to save the day
Let go of the strain and strive, you’ve got to take time for breathing
Go to the next cool dive and run into the family

I want to be part of the great big family
I want to be part of the great big family
I want to be part of the great big family
