about

A song to great love which spans decades. In this case, the bond between mother and daughter, written to my 90 year old mother.

lyrics

THICKER THAN WATER –JOANNE RAND 2015
WHEN YOU’RE BORN
THE THRILL OF ADVENTURE
IS STRONG LIKE AN OX
AND IT’S HARD TO RESIST HER
SUN AND MOON AND STARS
SPINNING AROUND
ALL THOSE GLOWING CITIES
TO BE FOUND
LIFE
IS AN UNTOLD STORY
FIRST YOU’RE BORN
THEN YOU’RE DRAWN
TOWARDS GLORY
SUN AND MOON AND STARS
SPINNING AROUND
ALL THOSE OPEN CHANCES
TO BE FOUND
BLOOD
IS THICKER THAN WATER
THAT’S A FACT PASSED DOWN
MOTHER TO DAUGHTER
I WANT TO BE
BESIDE YOU EVERY DAY
BUT THE SUN AND THE MOON AND THE STARS
LURED ME AWAY
BUT I’M STILL
LOVING YOU
WISH I KNEW WHAT TO DO
BLOOD
IS THICKER THAN WATER
THAT’S A FACT PASSED DOWN
MOTHER TO DAUGHTER
I WANT TO BE
BESIDE YOU EVERY DAY
BUT THE SUN AND THE MOON AND THE STARS
LURED ME AWAY
I’D TRADE IT ALL
IN A HEARTBEAT FOR YOU, MAMA
SETTLE DOWN
DO WHAT YOU WANT ME TO
‘CAUSE I’M STILL
LOVING YOU
WISH I KNEW WHAT TO DO
YES, I’M STILL
LOVING YOU
BLOOD
IS THICKER THAN WATER
BLOOD
IS THICKER THAN WATER
