This poem was written around 1994. Blood is thicker than water is an old phrase meaning essentially that your family is most valuable. What I understand now is to beware of any person that tries to separate you from or turn you against your family and friends.
Blood’s Thicker than Water
Blood’s thicker than water they say
It will be tomorrow
And it is today
I never really got the phrase
But now I am starting to understand
Don’t ever abandon your family
For any woman or man
Blood’s thicker than water
I have learned time after time
After time, after time
I have a thought of this line
It is very true
If you believe it you’ll never be blue
Some people don’t believe in the phrase
After a while there will be a price to pay
Maybe not today, but someday
Blood’s thicker than water
I will always say
Because for everything you do wrong
There is a price to pay.
