Still Time - Know Your Roots lyrics

rate me

It’s just these stars and the moon above The only things I’ve been thinking of In 20 years I have rarely seen My Mother Earth She’s been calling out to me She says, “You better know your roots This new world’s expansion’s Keeping me from you I’ve been here long enough to see You’re gonna need me soon” She says, “I’ll be here when you Wanna come back home” It’s just this cold as the fire dies Chills my bones Until the sun arrives In 20 years I have barely known My Mother Earth Who wants me back at home She says, “You better know your roots ‘Cause you don’t need a million bucks To have an ocean view I’ve been here long enough to see You’re gonna need me soon” She says, “I’ll be here when you Wanna come back home” And I ask Mother, Mother Earth, what can I do To be in your good graces? And she said, “Sing this song Remind my children Of the spots they miss Remind them of their places” And she said, “It’s in my rivers and in the valleys and in my ocean” She said, “It’s in my mountains and in the forest and in my sunset” She said, “It’s in my glaciers and in the canyons and in my desert And you better know, you better know your roots” (Thanks to Victoria for these lyrics)
