THICKER THAN BLOOD

We are not related
Not papered family
How we ended up
Thicker than blood
Is no mystery

We both put our families first
Have faith in God above
We’re passionate about the arts
Share the music that we love

We have the same visions
Sense and equality
Don’t understand our government
All the ignorance that we've seen

We’re advocates for the truth
Help out our fellow man
We don’t share blood
But are alike enough
Fix the things we can

~~~*Chorus*~~~
You will always be my Sister
Carved deep in my heart
When we count on each other
The bad times aren't so hard
We've weathered life together
And nothing’s conquered us
We don’t have to be related
We’re thicker than blood
~~*~~

We are not related
Not papered family
How we ended up
Thicker than blood
Is no mystery

We’d do anything for kids
Treat elders with respect
There’s not a trial
Faced together
That has beat us yet

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
Some families fight
Don’t treat each other right
Ignore the bonds they've broken
Stain love with competition
And the angry words they've spoken
Our link cannot be damaged
True ties can’t be undone
We are not related
We are thicker than blood
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
You will always be my Sister
Carved deep in my heart
When we count on each other
The bad times aren't so hard
We've weathered life together
And nothing’s conquered us
We don’t have to be related
We’re thicker than blood
~~*~~
