Somebodysomebody's gettin' outa bed

Somebodysomebody's gettin' herself dressed

Somebodysomebody combin' back her hair

Somebodysomebody dancin' down the stairs



And on the tv and in magazines

She sees the people she would like to be



Somebodysomebody steals away her dreams

Somebodysomebody - race is all they see

Somebodysomebody takes away her pride

Somebodysomebody don't know wrong from right



Now they have taken everything she owns

How did she ever get this far from home? 



See how we are

There ain't no four-leaf clover

In the blink of an eye

Ev'rything changes

We gotta start all over



Down in that deep muddy river (so long ago)

Blood is much thicker than water (the angels know)

Love is the ocean we swim in (so long ago)

Carry us to our beginning (the angels know)



Somebodysomebody takes away our name

Somebodysomebody tell me who I am

Somebodysomebody testify for love

Somebodysomebody where are you tonight? 



Down in that deep muddy river (so long ago)

Blood is much thicker than water (the angels know)

She hears a voice sweetly singing (so long ago)

Carry us to our beginning (the angels know)
