Roots in the Dust (Live) Lyrics

Sitting on the porch, watching the sun set, chasing shadows of my dad, can't forget he

Taught me how to hammer, how to carve the wood

We built our dreams from grit and sweat, just like we should

But this world's getting tougher, can't catch a break, feels like the weight of the world

Is ours to take

We gotta dig deep, find the treasures we lost, plant our roots in the dust, no matter the cost

With every step forward, we'll rise from the pain, for our children's tomorrow, we'll dance in the rain

We'll carve our names in the stone, let them all see, we're the keepers of history, setting our spirits free

Remember the fire, the smoke in the air, the stories we tell, we dream without care

I taste the sweet, I feel the warmth of a meal

As grandma saw, laughter was the best kind of heal

But times have changed, oh how they've flown

The struggle is real when you're out on your own

We gotta dig deep, find the treasures we lost, plant our roots in the dust, no matter the cost

With every step forward, we'll rise from the pain, for our children's tomorrow, we'll dance in the rain

We'll carve our names in the stone, let them all see, we're the keepers of history, setting our spirits free

So I hit the books, the past is my guide, learning old trades with a heart full of pride

I'm building a strategy, brick by brick, in this wild world, gotta be smart and quick

Leave a legacy, something lasting and grand, for my children's children, I'll take that stand

Oh, we gotta dig deep, find the treasures we lost, plant our roots in the dust, no matter the cost

With every step forward, we'll rise from the pain, for our children's tomorrow, we'll dance in the rain

We'll carve our names in the stone, let them all see, we're the keepers of history, setting our spirits free

So hold on tight, to the stories we weave, in the face of a storm, I know we'll believe

With our roots in the dust, we'll weather the fight, together we'll shine like stars in the night

Thanks for watching
