[Verse 1] We were just ten years old when we bonded for life In that Maple tree, you and me, and my old timer knife The trade we made with the blade sealed a deal like no others Yeah, it hurt like hell but not a teardrop fell [Chorus] We were blood brothers Same soul with a different shade of skin Blood is thicker than water We were thick as thieves through the thick and thin Growing up in a world calling us different colors But it was more than black and white Wish everyone would act like blood brothers [Verse 2] Remember when you busted up my lip and I dotted your right eye? I liked your sister, so I kissed her behind the bleachers in junior high Man you were red hot mad, we got suspended from school And we spend the rest of the day fishing our problems away [Chorus] Cause we were blood brothers Same soul with a different shade of skin Blood is thicker than water We were thick as thieves through the thick and thin Growing up in a world calling us different colors But it was more than black and white Wish everyone would act like blood brothers Blood brothers [Bridge] When we learn to look through His eyes in heaven above Well see with all hate and heartache theres nothing stronger than love When we learn to look through His eyes in heaven above Well see with all hate and heartache theres nothing stronger than love [Chorus] We were blood brothers Same soul with a different shade of skin Blood is thicker than water We were thick as thieves through the thick and thin Growing up in a world calling us different colors But it was more than black and white Wish everyone would act like blood brothers Same soul with a different shade of skin Blood is thicker than water We were thick as thieves through the thick and thin Growing up in a world calling us different colors But it was more than black and white Wish everyone would act like blood brothers Blood brothers Blood brothers
