[Verse]
Barefoot days where the grass would scrape
The laughter echoed across the gate
Chasing shadows 'til the sky turned gray
Where the sun kissed dreams would always stay
[Verse 2]
Mama’s hands held stories untold
Baba’s voice
Strong
A shield of gold
We'd sit ‘round the fire
Warmth would unfold
Each word
A treasure
Each tale we’d hold
[Chorus]
Oh the roots of home keep pulling me
Through the winds
The waves
The endless sea
Memories run deep like the river flows
In my heart
My past always glows
[Verse 3]
A sea of faces
Traditions alive
Dancing to rhythms where spirits thrive
The food
The songs
The old archive
A tapestry woven with love to survive
[Bridge]
And though I walk on a faraway shore
The echoes of laughter I can't ignore
Through distance
Time
And an open door
I carry my people forevermore
[Chorus]
Oh the roots of home keep pulling me
Through the winds
The waves
The endless sea
Memories run deep like the river flows
In my heart
My past always glows
