[Verse]
They gave us the sun they gave us the rain
Built a shelter when the skies brought pain
Hands so rough but hearts so kind
Every wrinkle a story etched in time
They stood like mountains when the winds would roar
Gave us the keys but showed us the door
A love so loud it don't need to shout
They’re the roots we grow from no doubt
[Prechorus]
Who held you up when you couldn't stand
Who caught the dreams slipping through your hands
[Chorus]
Respect the roots respect the tree
They paved the way for you and me
Every sacrifice every tear
Honor the ones who brought us here
[Verse 2]
Mom's voice like a melody in the night
Dad’s advice like a compass in the fight
They built the bridge so we could cross
Carved their love into every loss
We chase the stars but forget the ground
They planted hope so we could be found
Every bruise they took every scar they hide
They’re the fire burning deep inside
