Brother Jerome - Roots Lyrics

It seems the further we grow from our roots, the more we're struggling
As these days continue I see more suffering
If you wish they'd grow further apart, I'll make a suggestion
Go back to where the human starts: in the natural land

I know in my life nothing calms me like the trees
Or watching leaves give way to make room for the breeze
Then joins the river making soothing melodies
These are the simple joys in life that tend to keep my mind at ease
Feeling rock steady as I'm walking down the path
Stand under waterfall if I need me a bath
This is the piece missing that most people don't have
If they connect with their roots I think they'd find the other half

It seems the further we grow from our roots, the more we're struggling
As these days continue I see more suffering
If you wish they'd grow further apart, I'll make a suggestion
Go back to where the human starts: in the natural land

Climbing a mountain top to keep myself in shape
And when I'm hot there's nothing better than the shade
Cross paths with animals you need not be afraid
We all had coexisted once our Mother's seen some better days
I think it's about time that we all made a stand
Go to your government and then demand a plan
The joy you could attain will slip right through your hands
If we continue to abuse and not reuse there'll be no land
No no no, no no no land

It seems the further we grow from our roots, the more we're struggling'
As these days continue I see more suffering
If you wish they'd grow further apart, I'll make a suggestion
Go back to where the human starts: in the natural land
