Rerecording of Roots (original version 2020)

lyrics

Where do we come from?
Where will we go when our time is right?
We wanna know what we are here for.
We ask ourselves in our lonely nights.

What is right? What is left?
What will remain when the curtain falls?
And so we won‘t stop searching for the answers we missed,
Until we get right down to the bottom of this.

(So I) I‘m diggin‘ my roots, I‘m diggin‘ my roots.
(So I) I‘m diggin‘ my roots, I‘m diggin‘ my roots.
To learn more ´bout me and get a grip on me,
And finally see, what‘s a part of me.
I‘m longing to find... me.
I‘m diggin‘ my roots, yeah.

Our fate is uncertain,
But we surely know where we come from.
We try to look behind the curtain,
To find out what we will become.

What is right? What is left?
What will remain when the curtain falls?
So we shouldn‘t stop searching for the answers we missed,
Until we get right down to the bottom of this.

(So I) I‘m diggin‘ my roots, I‘m diggin‘ my roots.
(So I) I‘m diggin‘ my roots, I‘m diggin‘ my roots.
To learn more ´bout me and get a grip on me,
And finally see, what‘s a part of me.
I‘m longing to find... me.
I‘m diggin‘ my roots, yeah.

I‘m diggin‘ deeper getting dirt on my hands,
Pushing boundaries bit by bit just to understand.
I‘m diggin‘ deeper getting dirt on my hands,
Pushing boundaries bit by bit just to understand.
I‘m diggin‘ deeper getting dirt on my hands,
Pushing boundaries bit by bit just to understand.
I‘m diggin‘ deeper getting dirt on my hands,
Pushing boundaries bit by bit just to understand.

I‘m diggin‘ my roots, I‘m diggin‘ my roots.
I‘m diggin‘ my roots, I‘m diggin‘ my roots.
To learn more ´bout me, and get a grip on me,
And finally see, what‘s a part of me.
I‘m longing to find... me.
I‘m diggin‘ my roots, roots, yeah.

I‘m diggin‘ my roots, I‘m diggin‘ my roots
To learn more about me
I‘m diggin‘ my roots, I‘m diggin‘ my roots
To get a grip on me
I‘m diggin‘ my roots, I‘m diggin‘ my roots
And finally find me
