Came to a delta, deep and wide
Had to get on over to the other side
To free myself from hurt and doubt
What is within is going to have to be without
But the bridge was broken beyond repair
And I know I'm gonna have to get myself on over there
Blood is thicker than water
Wash my face in rivers of pain
Don't give up, sisters and brothers
You have no choice but to hold on
Blood is thicker than water
But it hurts more than the rain
Don't give up, my sons and daughters
Hold on, hold on, hold on
I watched the ship leaving from the pier
Taking all of my hopes and fears
I said goodbye to peace of mind
Had to leave all of that so far behind
I've been searching now for many's the long year
And I know I'm gonna keep on fighting through the rain and the tears
Blood is thicker than water
Wash my face in rivers of pain
Don't give up, sisters and brothers
You have no choice but to hold on
Blood is thicker than water
But it hurts more than the rain
Don't give up, my sons and daughters
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Oh, I'm not going to tell you things are going to change
They always stay the same
But what can I tell you, you have to carry on
Even when the clouds have killed the sun
I'm not going to tell you, you're always going to win
But, at least, you have to finish (what you did begin
Nothing comes easy, no one ever said it would
People like us pay with our tears and
Blood is thicker than water
Wash my face in rivers of pain
Don't give up, sisters and brothers
You have no choice but to hold on
Blood is thicker than water
But it hurts more than the rain
Don't give up, my sons and daughters
Hold on, hold on,
Blood is thicker than water
Wash my face in rivers of pain
Don't give up, sisters and brothers
You have no choice but to hold on
Blood is thicker than water
Wash my face in rivers of pain
Don't give up my sons and daughters
Hold on, hold on, hold on
