Roots

(Verse 1) In the bondage of blood, from our first cry, Under the moon's glow, beneath the vast sky. Not chains that confine, but roots that embrace, A lineage of love, time can't erase. (Pre-Chorus) When we stray from the path, lost and alone, Our bloodline's call, brings us back home. True, it's a beacon in the darkest night, Guiding us back, through the dawn's soft light. (Chorus) We are the river, not just the rain, More than our sorrow, beyond our pain. Our bloodline's a compass, through storm and through fright, Leading us home, where our hearts unite. (Verse 2) Through the silence of time, through the noise of our days, We may deny our roots, in so many ways. But the bond in our blood, silent and strong, Whispers of home, where we truly belong. (Pre-Chorus) Beyond the anger, beyond the strife, Our ancestral call breathes life. It's a reminder, gentle and clear, Our roots run deep, they hold us near. us near. (Chorus) We are the river, not just the rain, More than our sorrow, deeper than pain. Our bloodline's a compass, through storm and through night, Leading us home, to the dawn's first light. (Bridge) Not a chain but a gift, these roots that we bear, In the stretch of time, we each have our share. Though the world may shift, our essence remains, In the bondage of blood, love forever sustains. (Chorus) We are the river, not just the rain, Crafted from joy, carved by pain. Our bloodline's a compass, through storm and through night, Leading us home, to warmth, to the light. (Outro) A cheer to the lineage, profound and deep, In its embrace, our souls find peace. For in our blood, the stories untold, Bind us together, we are one and all with the rest of this world.
