Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Dusty photo on the mantle, a crack in the glass
A younger version of a man whose time went by too fast
I see his eyes in my own reflection, a stubborn set jaw
He gave me everything he had, even if it wasn't all
(Chorus)
The roots that hold me, strong and deep
A promise that my heart will keep
Their stories etched upon my soul, a map to make me whole
I'm learning to forgive the past, embrace the pain
To honor the blood that runs through my veins
(Verse 2)
Mama's hands, they told a story of calluses and grace
Of worry lines and gentle smiles that time could not erase
She taught me how to stand up straight, to weather any storm
And even when the house felt cold, her love kept it warm
(Chorus)
The roots that hold me, strong and deep
A promise that my heart will keep
Their stories etched upon my soul, a map to make me whole
I'm learning to forgive the past, embrace the pain
To honor the blood that runs through my veins
(Bridge)
We didn't always see eye to eye, some battles were hard fought
But looking back, I see the lessons that their sacrifice brought
The wisdom in their weary words, the strength they had to lend
A broken road that brought me here, right to where I can begin
(Chorus)
The roots that hold me, strong and deep
A promise that my heart will keep
Their stories etched upon my soul, a map to make me whole
I'm learning to forgive the past, embrace the pain
To honor the blood that runs through my veins
