Roots in the sky

Roots in the sky lyrics

Red dust settles on a city street Feeling the echo of a thousand feet I was looking for a signal in the noise Trying to remember my own voice Another sunrise through a concrete haze Counting the hours losing the days We got our roots in the sky branches in the ground Yeah we can hear the future in that ancient sound Feel the rhythm coming up right through the floor This is the heartbeat we were searching for Oh-oh-oh we're coming home The old stories written on the wind Tell me where I'm going where I've been Every constellation is a map I hold A story whispered that will not grow old Now the static's fading I can see it clear There was never anything to fear We got our roots in the sky branches in the ground Yeah we can hear the future in that ancient sound Feel the rhythm coming up right through the floor This is the heartbeat we were searching for Oh-oh-oh we're coming home Breathe it in let it go A seed of resilience starts to grow From the desert to the coast we rise With a different fire in our eyes We got our roots in the sky branches in the ground Yeah we can hear the future in that ancient sound Feel the rhythm coming up right through the floor This is the heartbeat we were searching for Oh-oh-oh we're coming home
