My Roots Go Deep

I keep it on

This ring, the feather of a swan

You gave to me some years ago

In the land of fire and sn  ow

In those days we burned brighter than the sun

As we came together as one

Can’t take it off

This weathered token of our love

You made for me when we were new

From threads of dreams in shades of bl  ue

In those days we made circles ’round the moo  n

And those times were over too soon

But Lord, I do not weep upon waking from a sleep

Dr?aming of hea   ve  n

For I remember all too well how close heaven is to hell

And all of them crash landings I’ve endured

I am letting down my roots

I am getting good at being still

I have stopped chasing after things

I am like the church upon a hill

I allow all things to come to me

I am a tall and mighty tree

I can weather any storm, ’cause

My roots go deep, my roots go deep

My roots go deep, my roots go deep

My roots go deep, my roots go deep

Don’t you ever wish there was a word

In a language everybody understands

You could say when words were not enough

To explain to others what your heart commands

By uttering the word our hearts would open

Communicating freely without fear

The fear we’ve held about speaking our truth

When it might be difficult to hear

We would find it easier just to listen

Synchronised in every single beat

In a place of purest love and deepest wisdom

Maybe we would finally get to meet
