Lyrics
Deep Roots
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the morning when they rise
Put on their face and try to disguise
Never knowing where they go
Like a tumble weed when the wind blows
Cannot go on walking without legs
Confusion always raging in their heads
They only see the light when they are dead
Listen to the words that the wise man said
Bow your head and pray
Thank you for the love, blessing I with help
Thank you for the knowledge, my family is my wealth
Thank you for the melody I'm singing in my song
Thank you for I roots, keeps I steady as I grow
Jah bless I with your love, no matter where I go
Protect I from my enemies arrows and the stones
Bless the little ones, the daughters and the sons
Protect the innocent a suffer sins of evil men
Said I these are the roots that I planted
Down in a Babylon see them take their chances
Deeper roots, stronger branches
Devil strikes a blow, my house will never go
These here deep roots, growing since the dawn of creation
They can push, pull, never shake the roots of I foundation
I see people in the ghetto easy fall to their defeat
Living in suburbia and living in the street
See them turn around in circles, like a dog chasing a tail
They running like a fugitive nah sleep for many days
Never knowing where they going, never knowing where they from
Running from the demons, seek protection from a gun
They forget their history, a lesson hidden in the past
Find your roots the deepest roots will put you on the steady path
Said ah these are the roots that I planted
Down in a Babylon see them take their chances
Deeper roots, stronger branches
Devil strikes a blow, my house will never go
These here deep roots, growing since the dawn of creation
They can push, pull, never shake the roots of I foundation
In the morning when they rise
Put on their face and try to disguise
Never knowing where they go
Like a tumble weed when the wind blows
You cannot go on walking without legs
Confusion always raging in their heads
They only see the light when they are dead
Listen to the words that the wise man said
Said ah these are the roots that I planted
Down in a Babylon see them take their chances
Deeper roots, stronger branches
Devil strikes a blow, my house will never go
These here deep roots, growing since the dawn of creation
They can push, pull, never shake the roots of I foundation
