Know Your Roots Lyrics

by Still Time

It’s just these stars and the moon above
The only things I’ve been thinking of
In 20 years I have rarely seen
My Mother Earth
She’s been calling out to me
She says, “You better know your roots
This new world’s expansion’s
Keeping me from you
I’ve been here long enough to see
You’re gonna need me soon”
She says, “I’ll be here when you
Wanna come back home”
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e29623-still_time~know_your_roots_lyrics.html ]
It’s just this cold as the fire dies
Chills my bones
Until the sun arrives
In 20 years I have barely known
My Mother Earth
Who wants me back at home
She says, “You better know your roots
‘Cause you don’t need a million bucks
To have an ocean view
I’ve been here long enough to see
You’re gonna need me soon”
She says, “I’ll be here when you
Wanna come back home”

And I ask Mother,
Mother Earth, what can I do
To be in your good graces?
And she said, “Sing this song
Remind my children
Of the spots they miss
Remind them of their places”

And she said, “It’s in my rivers and in the valleys and in my ocean”
She said, “It’s in my mountains and in the forest and in my sunset”
She said, “It’s in my glaciers and in the canyons and in my desert
And you better know, you better know your roots”

Still Time
