A: Hey Sally
S: Hey Angelo
A: know what I like about the tree of life?
S: what?
A: I like the fruits
S: Well I prefer roots
A: Well, Sally says
ROOTS!!!
Taking it back, taking it back, taking it to the roots
Lost is found, in the ground when you seek the truth
I climbed up to the tree top
with curiosity.
The sunshine was shinnin’
down on me
and everything that I could see
I climbed down through the branches
so I could pick through the fruit
But what I really needed was to get down and dirty
underground with all the roots.yaaa
Taking it back, taking it back, taking it to the roots
Lost is found, in the ground
when you seek the truth
I finally got down to the trunk of the tree
still lookin’ for something’ good
And then it hit like a big ol’ stick,
to get down like I should
So I picked and dug and shoveled deep
and much to my surprise
I struck it rich with the roots I’ve hit and now I feel revived
Now that I got my roots in hand
and I’m beamin‘ from head to toe
I’m standing proud as I sing out loud
because I’m in the know
Cause I took it right back, I took it right back, I took it back to the roots
Ain’t no body gonna tell me di-ffer-ent cause I know the truth (well)
Taking it back, taking it back, taking it to the roots
Lost is found, in the ground when you seek the truth
