[Verse 1]
God gave mama a singin' voice
Mama passed it down to me
Always with me, near my heart
Beat in rhythm with her melody

[Pre-Chorus]
More than flesh, more than bone
When you sing I don't sing alone

[Chorus]
I said, "Y'all know what I need
Lay it back on the top of the beat"
I said, "Y'all know what I need
C'mon and clap your hands and stomp your feet"
If you can count to four
You don't need a-nothin' more
Help me make that chord
There's nothing quite like blood harmony
Oh, blood harmony
Oh, oh

[Verse 2]
Blackbird singin' for herself
She got wings to bear her far away
The night surrenders to the dawn
Still, I can hear the blackbird song
[Pre-Chorus]
More than flesh, more than bone
When you sing I don't sing alone

[Chorus]
I said, "Y'all know what I need
Lay it back on the top of the beat"
I said, "Y'all know what I need
C'mon and clap your hands and stomp your feet"
If you can count to four
You don't need a-nothin' more
Help me make that chord
There's nothing quite like blood harmony
Oh, blood harmony
Oh, oh

[Bridge]
It's gonna roll, roll like a river
Rhythm gonna set you free
You got soul
Stand and deliver
Shake that family tree
It's gonna roll, roll like a river
Rhythm gonna set you free
You got a soul
Stand and deliver
Shake that family tree
[Chorus]
I say, "Y'all know what I need
C'mon and lay it back on the top of the beat"
I said, "Y'all know what I need
C'mon and clap those hands and stomp those feet"
If you can count to four
You don't need a nothin' more
Help me make that chord
There's nothing quite like blood harmony
Oh, Blood harmony
Oh, oh
