It's In The Blood - Eric Stewart

Blood is red but some got blue

These circumstances put the mark on you

Some get lucky, some will not

These circumstances really mean a lot

Some will rule while others serve

Some people get what they really don’t deserve

Strokes of luck and happenstance

We roll the dice in the game of chance

Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief

You scratch them all and what is undrneath?

It’s in the blood, deep in the vins, it’s in the blood

It’s in the blood, deep in the veins, it’s in the blood

What denotes the humankind?

Well nothing easy springs to mind

Powerful men and gentlefolk

Some are very special, some are a joke

He is black but she is blue, they’re green with envy for your brand new shoes

Everybody wants your jimmy choos

We pity the man with the bare feet blues

Princes, paupers, liars and cheats

You scratch them all and what is underneath?

It’s in the blood, deep in the veins, it’s in the blood

It’s in the blood, deep in the veins, it’s in the blood

Men may dream to talk with kings

They can’t believe it when they’re kissing the ring

People rise from low to high

They climb the mountain, touch the sky

Love can be so colour blind

A careful blending makes a perfect wine

Shades of ivory and carib blue

These combinations make a magic brew

We don’t know what’s right or wrong

We try and try until we make it strong

Nobody knows what’s around that bend

Maybe the treasure at the rainbow’s end

Dreamers, schemers, bitter and sweet

You scratch them all and what is underneath?

It’s in the blood, deep in the veins, it’s in the blood

It’s in the blood, deep in the veins, it’s in the blood

It’s in the blood, deep in the veins, it’s in the blood

It’s in the blood, deep in the veins, it’s in the blood
