No Roots |
That thing, I walk by the river |
Remembering the days of young |
My mum, the food she delivered |
Our bellies were so full and fun |
We heard a plane in the air flying up above |
The enemy from overseas (The sea) |
I grabbed my family by the hands and we ran away |
We’re running from the enemy |
No roots, no roots, no culture |
We’re running from the enemy |
No roots, no roots, no culture |
I’m hiding with my family |
Insid a room we would hide when th sun was gone |
So quiet as we hid through the night |
I heard a man through the window on the telephone |
They’re searching for my family and I |
I take a chance with the gun holding in my hand |
Behind it, we would seek through the night |
I pulled the trigger to his head, now his life is gone |
My family we are free for the night |
Say, no roots, no roots, no culture |
We’re hiding in the thick of the night |
No roots, no roots, no culture |
My family will fight for our lives |
There’s no price they can put on our name |
My hearts fighting in the game |
They tried to take my family apart |
It’s a war that you don’t want to start |
And now the tables have turned on the enemy |
Almighty God has answered my cries |
Sometimes a friend is also a frenemy |
They’re smiling with them lying eyes |
Just like in life, there’s a war everywhere around |
And you can be the shining light |
They took their bombs, their guns, the enemy |
They’re running in the dead of the night |
Our roots, our roots, our culture |
No one can take that feeling from me |
Our roots, our roots, our culture |
The power of the totara tree, yeah |
Our roots, our roots, our culture |
No one can take that feeling from me, no |
Our roots, our roots, our culture |
The power of the totara tree |
