Mavis Staples - The Root Lyrics




You can dig all day and never find the root
You're gonna get dirty child digging for the root
If you're looking for an answer what's wrong with the truth?
Keep digging child, looking for the root

Look for love
It must be love
Look for love
It must be love

To be born is original
Original is a sin
And noone who can fix it
Is forgiveness in the end

Look for love
It must be love
Look for love
It must be love

(Instrumental interlude)

We keep reachin', reachin' for the fruit
We keep digging, digging for the root
Looking for the answer, what's wrong with the truth
Keep digging child, looking for the root

Look for love
It must be love
Look for love
It must be love

It must be love
Look for love,
Look for love, love
Oh yeah
Keep on lookin
Keep on reachin' reachin'
Diggin' uh huh
Love is love, love
Look for love, find your love
If you're looking for that answer, what's wrong with the truth?
Keep digging child, looking for the root
