From the recording Deep Roots
Lyrics
[Verse]
Dem say de earth nah cry nah weep
But mi feel de tears deep deep
Roots diggin’ where de fire sleep
Light a flame fi mek de spirit leap
[Chorus]
Roots in de ground
Hold it strong
Roots in de ground
Carry we along
Roots in de ground
We belong
Roots in de ground
Hear de song
[Verse 2]
Mi seh
Gal
Where yuh find yuh peace?
Bwoy
In de riddim dat nah cease
Gal
Where yuh hide yuh fight?
Bwoy
Under moonlight bright bright
[Prechorus]
Call de drum
Call de wind
Mek dem meet
Flute dem hum
Bongo beat
Cyah retreat
[Chorus]
Roots in de ground
Hold it strong
Roots in de ground
Carry we along
Roots in de ground
We belong
Roots in de ground
Hear de song
[Bridge]
Bwoy
De riddim dubbin’ inna mi veins
Gal
De heartbeat breaking all de chains
Bwoy
De synth a whisper
Ancient tones
Gal
We walk fi miles but de roots are home
