Analysis of Friends Are Chosen Family
Though born into a family
with providential ties
friends are chosen family
we respect and prize
Though born into a family
with inherent kinks
friends are chosen family
we perk up by links
Though born into a family
with luck of the draw
friends are chosen family
we embrace with awe
Though born into a family
with familial traits
friends are chosen family
we add to our fates
Though born into a family
with no vote to cast
friends are chosen family
we pick out to last
Though born into a family
with genetic codes
friends are chosen family
we fit into modes
