Thicker Than Water

I found I was lost,

Alone in a dark place;

You reached out your hands and grabbed hold.

You held to me tight,

And helped me feel safe again;

My heart came to bloom like a rose

They say that blood is

Thicker than water,

But water comes from the womb;

The ones that stand close

In the blood of your battles,

Whether you win or you lose,

They're the family you choose

On the table's a feast,

There's a crowd in the kitchen;

A family to make me feel home.

Through laughter and tears,

Shared stories together,

These are the treasures I hold

They say that blood is

Thicker than water,

But water comes from the womb;

The ones that stand close

In the blood of your battles,

Whether you win or you lose,

They're the family you choose

You've shown me what

Love really means;

Like a mother, a daughter,

A sister in need;

A love letter, the Maker sent you to me

Together we've walked,

Roads painful and beautiful,

And who knows what's yet to come

So whatever the time,

And no matter the distance,

I'll be right here by your side

They say that blood is

Thicker than water,

But water comes from the womb;

The ones that stand close

In the blood of your battles,

Whether you win or you lose,

They're the family you choose
