Roots provide in order to remain
They grow in the darkest places
Honor their journey and trust their pain
Roots caress and trust without refrain
Seeking carnal knowledge of the earth
Roots provide in order to remain
If a neighbor is violently torn from the terrain
It wounds the whole system of life
Honor their journey and trust their pain
In the darkest measure we are the same
In the sun we reveal our varied beauty
Roots provide in order to remain
Roots seek connection in the process of change
Sharing in nutrients and giving life to a friend
Honor their journey and trust their pain
As one perseveres in drought and rain
The collective is fortified the birthright achieved
Roots provide in order to remain
Honor their journey and trust their pain
