lyrics

Sister listen low
So to miss that murmur grow
'til your blood runs cold
Sister listen low

Brother speak with care
Guard your mother’s rocking chair
Brush her cloud white hair
Brother speak with care

Pray the roots grow deep
In the family tree
Bound by blood, a soul, a heart for keeps
Pray the roots grow deep

Father fly lightly
For a daughter’s a fragile thing
Give her song their wings
Father fly lightly

Help the roots grow deep
In a family tree
Let the branches lean in the breeze
Help the roots grow deep

Mother rest your eyes
Dwindling heart of fire
Kindled for your child
Mother rest your eyes

Where the roots grow deep
In the family tree
Let your soul dance in the leaves
Where the roots grow deep
