The Roots In Me

(album: Roads Of Life - 1979)

Where have I been
Oh I've been around
See I have my ways to believe in me
On my own time
And every now and then
We all have to get away
Break away to find ourselves
Sometimes you get lost along the way
But I'm standing to all this as master plan
All we gat to do is follow through
You know I often wonder sometimes
What does it profit a man
To gain the world
And lose his soul
Listen to me now

I've been stripping away from reality
I'm not too far away from the roots in me
It's all about you and me yeah
I know that it won't be like yesterday
Cause I'm seeing it all
In a different ways
Funny, funny, funny how I can change it all
When you watch the floor this lady almost fall

Oh I'm far away from reality
Too far away from the roots in me
Girl all the time you and me
Talking 'bout the roots in me
Talking 'bout you and me
Are you talking 'bout you and me baby
Talking 'bout roots in me
Talking about you and me
Sounds so blunt to me baby, say it again

It's easy too this way
That the greener light, is here sometimes
Cause the light we have Is blinking
Everything is going right
But I can't over look
Can't over look
Can't over look the tears I see
Oh I've been specially with no season
Seen every road by me

I can't get away from the best in me
Until it's alright 'bout you and me
Honey about you and me yeah

We all in our way out to get it
We making memories
Let just think about it
Some people spend a life time
Trying to get it together
You see all you gat to do
Is just find your way, something you can work out on
The thing that you need in life
And I know, (through the roots in me)
You've not talked to someone in a while
Help me explain myself
(Through the roots in me)
