To My Roots by Emma Stevens Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I stopped somewhere in Nashville
New York, then LA
I woke up without knowing why
Somehow I'd lost my way
There were no signs to guide me
Only strangers who were kind
They offered me directions
To the dreams I'd left behind, left behind

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm on my way and getting close

[Chorus]
To the roses growing
To the rivers flowing
Let my heart go where it's going
To the seasons turning
To the home fires burning
To my roots, to my roots
To my roots, I am returning
[Verse 2]
The city streets are hard
Break down my walking boots
It seems I'm always travelling home
To get back to my roots
Happiness seems like a place
That's always far away
It's like a prayer you know so well
But you've forgotten how to pray, how to pray

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm on my way and getting close

[Chorus]
To the roses growing
To the rivers flowing
Let my heart go where it's going
To the seasons turning
To the home fires burning
To my roots, to my roots
To my roots, I am returning

[Bridge]
A church bell rings out loud
So loud it breaks the spell
I look outside my window
At a town that knows me well
The dew is on the clover
The morning sun is gold
A blackbird calls out from the heath
A song that'll never grow old
[Outro]
Grow old
Grow old (to my roots, to my roots, to my roots, to my roots)
Grow old (to my roots, to my roots, to my roots, to my roots)
To my roots, to my roots
To my roots, I am returning
