Roots Touch the Water

lyrics

Roots Touch the Water
When our roots touch the water
Life will sustain
When we must face the fire
Be wise and choose your way
And if we cant see our future
What will we do today
We make a choice for our children
In all we do and say

Verse
The crystal waters of mama gaia are the living life force
The sacred fires of our people bring light forevermore
The snow capped mountains and vibrant jungles
The heart of the forest
Our newborn children laughing and playing so eager to explore
But these are critical times
Oh we have seen the signs
So many have chosen destruction for profit over living life
So will our parents and grandparents open up their eyes.

Chorus
When our roots touch the water
Life will sustain
When we must face the fire
Be wise and choose your way
And if we cant see our future
What will we do today
We make a choice for our children
In all we do and say
When our roots touch the water
Life will sustain
When we must face the fire
Be wise and choose your way
And if we cant see our future
What will we do today
We make a choice for our children
In all we do and say

We gather together
To tend to the fire
We’re watching the weather
And raising it higher
The blessings and feathers
Prayers for Mama Gaia
blessings and feathers and
Prayers

The rhythm is beating
Our hearts to the sky
Remember the feeling
The True reason why
We Came to this planet and chose to live life
All is forgiven now open your eyes
Open your eyes
Chorus
When our roots touch the water
Life will sustain
When we must face the fire
Be wise and choose your way
And if we cant see our future
What will we do today
We make a choice for our children
In all we do and

We make a choice for our children
In all we do and say
We sing a prayer for our children
In all we do and say
