My Family

Joan Armatrading

Have you met my family 
Wouldn't take long to know them well 
Though they number from one to a million 
In this house we all dwell

Say hello to Jo, she's a goddess 
And to Paul, he is a saint 
And Adam, he's from the forest 
And to Jane, all day she paints

You ask me how I feel now 
Well I will tell you no lie 
Jessie, you bring the sunshine 
And you can see it in her eyes

Johnny tends the garden 
And little David sows the seeds 
Our manna is from heaven

He gives us all we need

He is Peter 
He's a piper, yeah 
And they will never grow old 
So I bid you welcome 
Welcome brothers, yeah 
Welcome to the fold

You ask me how I feel now 
Well I will tell you no lie 
Jessie, you bring the sunshine 
And you can see it in her eyes

Johnny tends the garden 
And little David sows the seeds 
Our manna is from heaven 
He gives us all we need
