Mattay - My Roots (Lyrics)

As far as I can remember, they’ve always been there within me
Some kind of a priceless old treasure, that shows me the right way to be
All the colors I’ve been given are mixed in one only picture
Full of pure light and no deception, through space and time like an anchor

They’re just my roots, my own ancestral roots
They reveal my true side cos they’re my roots
My strength and pride, that is what I say
They are with me day by day
They’re just my roots, my very roots
They can tell you who I really am oh yeah
And every time I fall down, they rise me up

They’re coming from forgotten times but they’re still flowing in my veins
See man you can read between my lines, it is so true they’re all that remains
Well they can be suffering and burning, sometimes they can cause me trouble
But I’ll never have my roots denied cos they’re with me if I stumble

They’re just my roots, my own ancestral roots
They reveal my true side, cos they’re my roots
My strength and pride, that is what I say
They are with me day by day
They’re just my roots, my very roots
They can tell you who I really am oh yeah
And everytime I fall down, they rise me up

They’re just like soft voices calling me from the past
They’re like ghosts and whispers right from the Great Beyond
They tell me just one thing, that I should live at last
With my feet on the ground, I should never be wrong
And no doubt in my head, they’re like a reaction

Cos they’re the best gift I’ve ever had in my life
Going back to my roots, I’ll never be broken

With my feet on the ground, I should always be right, yeah
Don’t forget your roots man
Because it’s your history, you know?
And you want to be proud for this
Give thanks for long, long, long time
