[Verse]
The soil speaks
It hums
It cries
Whispers of roots that never die
A tree stands tall
Its shadow wide
But its power lies in what's inside
[Chorus]
Black roots
They run so deep
Through the cracks where secrets sleep
Black roots
They never lie
Pull me down
Lift me high
[Verse 2]
Sand and stone
The earth’s old hymn
Carved by time
Worn and thin
Ashes buried
Seeds are sown
From black roots
The future’s grown
[Prechorus]
Can you feel it
The pulse
The beat
A history buried beneath our feet
[Chorus]
Black roots
They run so deep
Through the cracks where secrets sleep
Black roots
They never lie
Pull me down
Lift me high
[Bridge]
Branches break but roots remain
Through drought
Through fire
Through the pain
They carry stories
Blood
And rain
Black roots
The lifeline in my veins
