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
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
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 spent the rest of the day fishing our problems away
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
When we learn to look through His eyes in heaven above
We'll see with all hate and heartache
There's nothing stronger than love
When we learn to look through His eyes in heaven above
We'll see with all hate and heartache
There's nothing stronger than love
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
