Maya Nicole - Roots of the Earth Lyrics

The highway southbound leads me to your call
You, beside the park where I'd play when I was small
Never truly heard your voice, but I see you dancing in the night
But the silhouette of movement will be gone by morning light

You told me that your home would have tie-dyed tapestries
You told me where you'd work if your life weren't such a mystery
An open book fell at my feet, but the words were invisible
You had returned to your starting place, once again you were invincible

As strangely as you bloomed, you melted back into the roots of the earth
I feel you in the air and what lingers is your final word
And that's gotta be worth something, that's gotta be worth something

Candy-colored polaroids of your travels to the sea
Warm pastel waters crashing and falling at your feet
I observed you living from behind a stained glass
An artificial way to compensate for the walls I could not pass

And though I'm standing in confusion, I still feel good
You left me no more confused than I already stood
You slid back down the highway and said, "So long"
And I'm still waiting at the exit for your caramel curls though you're gone

As strangely as you bloomed, you melted back into the roots of the earth
I feel you in the air and what lingers is your final word
And that's gotta be worth something, that's gotta be worth something

Ooo, wah hey oh
Ooo, wah hey oh

Oh, nature always wins in the end
The sun always rises, the plants always die and you'll lose many a friend
Oh, nature, nature, nature always wins in the end

And that's gotta be worth something (that's gotta be worth something)
That's gotta be worth something now (that's gotta be worth something now)
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know that's gotta be worth something

Ooo, wah hey oh
Ooo, wah hey oh
