LYRICS

Living in a world, where everything demands understanding
We try and find a way, through the places and spaces in the game
We spend a long time running from ourselves
Before we can discover who we are

Chorus:
Talkin' bout roots
Ah yah, yah
Back to a way of life
Roots
Ah yah, yah
Talkin' bout roots, back to a way of life
Roots
Ah yah, yah
Back to a way of life

Take a step inside, your cultural desires await you
We owe it to ourselves to seek the primal spark that caused the flame

We spend a long time running from ourselves
Before we can discover who we are

Chorus

Water is not stronger than the blood

Chorus

Repeat (Fade)
