No Roots

歌詞

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 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 Inside a room we would hide when the 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
