My Roots Run Deep

My Roots Run Deep

I am me, one-of-a-kind,

No one will upset me nor

Confuse my mind;

I am me, one and only

And I refuse to sit idle, to

Be sad, or to feel lonely,

What you touch and your eyes see,

Is just the outside image of me;

I am a precious evergreen, and I am standing tall,

When storms of disgust are raging

And the winds of adversity blowing,

I will gracefully lean, but I will not fall;

My roots run deep,

Knitting themselves together,

Sprouting along the way,

They're bound tighter each and ev'ry day;

There's no need to worry nor to fret,

For my roots run deep and l o n g

And I am not tired yet;

I am valuable and I have class,

I am LOVE and known to last,

There is no time for me to stop,

I'm climbing above the mountain top;

I'm smoothing ev'ry lump and ev'ry bump,

I am paving the way,

For you to walk someday.
