We all get born, and we all get a name
And we all get raised, might not be the same
But we all got hearts, and we all feel pain
Don't we?
And we might do things in a different way
But we all want love, and we all need grace
Everybody bleeds red at the end of the day
Don't we?
Yeah, it's stronger than the Mississippi
Thicker than water
Running through the veins of the sons and daughters
Passed down from our mothers and fathers, blood
Yeah, sins got washed by the man on the cross in it
Wars got fought, got won, got lost with it
We are who we are, and we are because
It's in our blood
It's in the way I talk and the way I pray
The way I walk down the path I take
Naw, their ain't nobody takin' that away from me
Yeah, it's stronger than the Mississippi
Thicker than water
Running through the veins of the sons and daughters
Passed down from our mothers and fathers, blood
Yeah, sins got washed by the man on the cross in it
Wars got fought, got won, got lost with it
We are who we are, and we are because
It's in our blood
Yeah, it's in our blood
Everybody bleeds red at the end of the day
Don't we?
Yeah, it's stronger than the Mississippi
Thicker than water
Running through the veins of the sons and daughters
Passed down from our mothers and fathers, blood
Yeah, sins got washed by the man on the cross in it
Wars got fought, got won, got lost with it
We are who we are, and we are because
It's in our blood
