[Intro: Raw Fingerpicked Acoustic Guitar, Isochronic Tones]
(Mmm, mmm, yeah)
(Digging deep, digging down)
(Where are my roots? Uh-huh)
(Sha-ma-ha-ra-ta! Lord, hear me!)
[Verse 1: Close-Mic Breathy Vocals, Acoustic Strum]
I9m missing connections, standing out in the cold
I9m lacking my roots, feeling broken and old
I need a victory, or I'm gonna sink
Standing right here on the edge of the brink
I9m missing revival, I9m missing my awakening
Every single step I take, my foundation is shaking
I9m missing you, but who are you? Is it you, GOD, who I seek in the blue?
[Pre-Chorus: Building Tension, Foot Stomps, Slide Guitar]
I'm reading the book, I'm talking to you
But something is out of place, breaking in two
Something is loose, what am I to do, GOD?
(What am I to do?)
Is it me? Tell me, is it me?
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop, set me free)
[Chorus: Explosive Belted Vocals, Heavy Percussion, Sub-Bass Drop]
Is there a demon in my house, GOD?
(In my house! Oh!)
Are there demons in my house, GOD?
(Creeping through the walls!)
Are they creeping through my wall? And poisoning my children, making them fall?
(Poisoning the roots!)
Am I missing something, GOD?
Is it in my roots? (Digging up the roots, yeah!)
[Post-Chorus: Repeating Scat & Tongues Hook]
(Speaking in tongues: Ra-ba-sha-ka-ta! He-li-os!)
(Ski-bi-di-bop, pull it from the dirt!)
(Pull it from the dirt, yeah!)
(Uh, um, heal the hurt!)
[Verse 2: Gritty Vocals, Driving Rhythm]
Generations of shadows, hiding out of sight
Fighting unseen battles in the middle of the night
Forgive my family before mine, Lord
Cut these heavy chains with a two-edged sword
This must not go on, I'm taking a stand
Reclaiming my spirit, reclaiming my land
(Reclaiming the land!)
I need the water to wash away the stain
Send down the fire, send down the rain.
[Pre-Chorus: Building Tension, Foot Stomps, Slide Guitar]
I'm reading the book, I'm talking to you
But something is out of place, breaking in two
Something is loose, what am I to do, GOD?
(What am I to do?)
Is it me? Tell me, is it me?
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop, set me free)
[Chorus: Explosive Belted Vocals, Heavy Percussion, Sub-Bass Drop]
Is there a demon in my house, GOD?
(In my house! Oh!)
Are there demons in my house, GOD?
(Creeping through the walls!)
Are they creeping through my wall? And poisoning my children, making them fall?
(Poisoning the roots!)
Am I missing something, GOD?
Is it in my roots? (Digging up the roots, yeah!)
[Bridge: Strip Back Instrumentation to Acapella & Claps]
(Stomp, stomp, clap!)
I9m pulling out the weeds!
(Stomp, stomp, clap!)
Planting holy seeds!
(Speaking in tongues: Ka-ra-ba-sha-ta! Ho-san-na!)
I won't let the darkness win this fight!
I'm bringing every secret out into the light!
[Verse 3: Triumphant Delivery, Full Band Rolls In]
No more missing connections, the roots are growing strong
Singing out a brand new, liberated song
The revival is here, the awakening is now
I don't have to carry this, I'm making a vow
The house is swept clean, the shadows are gone
Watch me step out into the breaking dawn!
(Breaking dawn!)
[Chorus: Maximum Energy, Full Gospel Harmonies]
There ain't no demon in my house, GOD!
(No demons here! No!)
Swept the demons from my house, GOD!
(Washed the walls clean!)
They ain't creeping through my wall!
My children are safe, they ain't gonna fall!
I found what I was missing, GOD!
It was in my roots! (Healing up the roots, yeah!)
[Outro: Natural Fade with Sustained Healing Tones, Acoustic Plucks]
Forgive my family. (Forgiven)
Healing my roots. (Healing)
(Speaking in tongues: Sha-ma-ha-ra-ta...)
No more demons in the house.
Just peace. (Just peace, um... yeah)
[Fade Out]
