    Story Behind the Song
    A very personal piece about the people who mean the most to me. Like many families, mine is spread out far and wide, yet there's still a deep bond between us. At a family reunion in the late 80's, we had a special photo taken to commemorate that rare gathering. This song is about that photo.

    Lyrics
    There was a common family portrait
    Taken many years ago
    A symbol of a precious treasure
    The greatest love you'll ever know

    The picture looks like any other
    Common people standing tall
    But if you knew them well you'd realize
    There not common folks at all

    The mother taught her kids compassion
    While father taught them right from wrong
    The love they held for one another
    Helped them grow up straight and strong

    From time to time the youngest stumbled
    But before he'd even hit the ground
    There the others were to catch him
    And help him turn his life around

    I think I'll keep this family portrait
    This souvenir suspending time
    I know alot about the people in the picture
    For that family is mine

    And if we never reassemble
    These souls whose paths have led away
    We can look back and remember
    The love and joy we share today

    There was a common family portrait
    Taken many years ago
    A symbol of a precious treasure
    The greatest gift this man will ever know
