lyrics

I don’t know where I’ll go
To distant lands where the wind will help me grow
My hands are plowing soil to sow
For a seed that will grow much larger than me

I know I must go and see
But where I sleep is most foreign now to me
But must I leave you behind?
Must I leave you behind?

‘Cause You are the roots that grow deep
And my bones cry out to sing
that I have no home, you are the home
that I love to keep

My body aches, my soul awakes
I am trying to trust what the good Lord will make
But my love, I hear your voice in the sea
It warms my bones and sets me free

‘Cause You are the roots that grow deep
And my bones cry out to sing
that I have no home, you are the home
that I love to keep

Everything must grow
Everything must grow
Everything must grow
Everything must grow

It's Natalie's vocals I love here. A remarkably clever choice of material (folksy to bluesy) all delivered with equal aplomb, a simplicity most astute - fabulous. Hassles
