More Than Blood

We weren’t born to be best friends,
Just landed in the same place, same names.
But we made a choice; every damn mile,
Built a bond that don’t break, got style.
You ain’t here 'cause you had to be,
You’re here ‘cause you showed up when it mattered to me.
That’s real. That’s rare. That’s more than blood..
That’s loyalty, that's real bond.
We’ve hit the edge of maps, crossed oceans and seas,
Laughed through chaos, conquered all fears.
Phone calls in traffic, coffee in the rain,
You never needed a reason; you just came.
Yeah, blood might start the story,
But it don’t write the page.
Family is who fights for you,
When life hits center stage.
You ain’t here ‘cause you had to be,
You're here ‘cause you chose to stand by me.
When the weight hit hard, when I fell through cracks,
You didn’t ask why; you just had my back.
You’ve seen me at my lowest; cracked and worn,
Didn’t flinch, didn’t fix; you stayed through hell.
Didn’t ask why, didn’t need the facts,
You just had my back; and that’s that.
Blood’s just a thread, easy to tear.
But the ones who choose you;
They’re always there.
So call it what you want, say what you feel;
But this bond right here;
That’s real.
Yeah, blood might start the story,
But it don’t write the page.
Family is who fights for you,
When life hits center stage.
You ain’t here ‘cause you had to be,
You're here ‘cause you chose to stand by me.
When the weight hit hard, when I fell through cracks,
You didn’t ask why; you just had my back.
