SHE WAS BORN IN
KANSAS CITY
RAISED IN ARKANSAS
FELL IN LOVE
WITH AN EX-MARINE
SHE ALREADY HAD
THREE BABIES
HE HAD ONE OF HIS OWN
THEY CAME TOGETHER
FOR ANOTHER AND ME
OUR FAMILY
NEVER SHARED
THE SAME LAST NAME
BUT OUR FAMILY
WAS A FAMILY THE SAME
AND THEY SAY
BLOOD IS THICKER
THAN WATER
OH BUT LOVE
IS THICKER THAN BLOOD
A WRECK OUT ON
THE HIGHWAY
RAIN FALLING DOWN
LORD HE MUST HAVE
FELL ASLEEP
AT THE WHEEL
THERE'S A NUMBER
OF PEOPLE
JUST STANDING AROUND
LORD I CAN'T CONDEMN
THE FEAR
THAT THEY FEEL
FOR THAT RIVER OF RED
COULD BE THE DEATH
OF ME
GOD GIVE ME STRENGTH
AND KEEP REMINDING ME
THAT
BLOOD IS THICKER
THAN WATER
OH BUT LOVE
IS THICKER THAN BLOOD
AND IF BLOOD
IS THICKER THAN WATER
WELL THEN WHAT
ARE WE FIGHTING FOR
WE'RE ALL SONS
AND DAUGHTERS
OF SOMETHING
THAT MEANS
SO MUCH MORE
I SEE IT ON MY T.V.
BUT I CAN'T
UNDERSTAND
LORD IT'S ONE
BIG CONTRADICTION
TO ME
HOW IN GOD'S NAME
WE LOVE THY NEIGHBOR
WITH FISTS IN OUR HANDS
AND KILL EACH OTHER
WHEN WE JUST DON'T
AGREE
WHY CAN'T WE SEE
THE WALLS
WE CAN'T SEE THROUGH
AND SEE WHAT GOD'S
BEEN TELLING
ME AND YOU
AND THAT IS
BLOOD IS THICKER
THAN WATER
OH BUT LOVE
LOVE IS THICKER
THAN BLOOD
