One fine day I was walking down the streets of my hometown
It's a couple of weeks ago, still feels like yesterday
Walking in the streets a strange feeling arouse in me
A new emotion, exciting but frightening in a way

And it was good
Oh good
And it was real

Everbody on the street was somehow familiar to me
Like I'd seen faces and heard the voices somewhere sometimes
Maybe in a dream, maybe in some other life
I looked at them and knew them, I saw their fears and all their lies

And it was good
Oh good
And it was real
The family feel

Every girl I saw she could have been my sister
Every boy I met he could have been my brother
Every man I saw he could have been my father
Every woman I saw she could have been my mother

And it was good
Oh good
And it was real
The family feel

But then I started hugging them
They didn' like it at all!
One man was just about to beat me up
So I stopped, I stopped, ooh I stopped

Picture yourself walking down some street
It could be any town, it could be any other day
Walking in the streets you feel this flame rising in you
You see the ones around you in a brand new way

Wouldn't it be good
Wouldn't it be real
Wouldn't it be
The family feel
