I've been to the mountain top I've been to the valley low The one thing that never stopped Was the love that my family showed When my mama she passed away My papa he gave us hope He said there won't ever come a day When your family won't help you cope As sure as Moses' staff parted the water As sure as Cain had to pay four his crime As sure as no one wants to be brokenhearted That's how sure I am that blood is thicker than time Well We went to church on Sunday mornin' (Oh yeah) All dressed up lookin' mighty fine The spirit came without a warning Intoxicated us all like wine Don't it make you stop and wonder Why we kill our own kind every day? Why can't we get along with each other When we damn well know it's the only way? As sure as Moses' staff parted the water As sure as Cain had to pay four his crime As sure as no one wants to be brokenhearted That's how sure I am that blood is thicker than time (That's how sure I am, oh yeah, blood is thicker than time) Don't it make you stop and wonder Why we kill our own kind every day? Why can't we get along with each other When we damn well know it's the only way? As sure as Moses' staff parted the water As sure as Cain had to pay four his crime (Uh-huh) As sure as no one wants to be brokenhearted That's how sure I am that blood is thicker than time That's how sure I am blood is thicker than time
