Roots Songtext
von The Great Albatross

When I was young I seemed to fall asleep
Like a tree, I grew my roots down deep
Through the ground to waters down below
Murky and dark they were forced to grow
Underneath my path was twisted grey
While on the surface things were bright as day
The sun was bright and true
Growing stronger through and through
I thought my branches could touch the stars
I didn′t understand how far they are
Whoooohooohoo
As the years rolled by
Clouds began to cover up the sky
And the sunlight my leaves used to use
Left me cold wanting and confused
Reaching out to the hidden sun
Felt alone wondering what I'd done
My branches saying why am I so far away?
From the one I love, from the one I love
Why am I so far away?


From the one I love, from the one I love
mmmmmmmm
Barren and exposed
The surface left me with nowhere to go
Past the crust and mantel to the core
Through the earth my roots they searched for more
For warmth that could sustain my soul
For anything slightly meaningful
As my roots dug deep
I fell deeper into sleep
Tangled in a vine
Afraid of the things I might find
whoooohooohoo
ahhhh
whoohooooohooo
When my roots finally touched the core
They remebered what they were looking for
But all they found was brittleness and ash
A fire from long ago that couldn′t last
Reaching out to that blackened core
I felt helpless wishing there was something more
My roots sang
Why am I so far away?
From the one I love, from the one I love
Why am I so far away?
From the one I love, from the one I love
Why am I so far away?
From the one I love, from the one I love
Why am I so far away?
From the one I love, from the one I love
Why am I so far away?
From the one I love, from the one I love
Why am I so far away?
From the one I love, from the one I love
hmmhmmmhmmmm
