"Roots" lyrics

"Roots"

If the wind takes new direction
I know we'll find our way
The past will always guide us
It's never gonna fade
The future keeps evolving
That's just nature's game
Time will bring its changes
But our roots, they will remain

Daughters turn to mothers
Set sailing to unknown
But no matter what the distance
This will always be their home
Generations gather
Passing down the flame
Time will bring its changes
But our roots, they will remain
Our roots, they will remain

Our roots are in the soil
They're in the fields, the rivers and the streams
And if you dig in deep enough
You'll find strength and centuries
The voices whisper through the hills
Songs about our legacy
Make sure you listen carefully, my friend

There is no tomorrow
Without yesterday
History's within us
It's in our DNA
Hope's on the horizon
The future calls our name
Time will bring its changes
But our roots, they will remain

Our roots, they will remain
Our roots, they will remain
