Lyrics

(Intro – light guitar + shakers, soft smile) Eh… baobab calling… oh-na-na… (Verse 1 – bright tenor, youthful energy) Gather by the big tree, where the old ones sit Sun kiss the earth, ancestors never quit From the river we rise, soil in our veins Blood run deep, hear the ancient refrain Grandma read stars, papa dance with rain Pour libation down, keep the spirit chain We borrow this ground, hold it with care For tomorrow’s children, we show we there (Pre-Chorus – quick build, swing) Feel the bounce, ye-ye, healing in the air (Chorus – full uplift, light harmonies, ad-libs) Roots run deep, oh roots run deep! (moni-ca bounce!) Baobab tall, secrets we keep (ah-ha!) Family forever, sun and rain we face (oh-na-na!) Ancestors breathing, in every place Roots run deep, eh, roots run deep! (ye-ye!) Spirit in our veins, love we keep We are the land, healing flow free Ancestors call — come vibe with me! (bounce! ah-ha!) (Verse 2 – groove locked, rimshots + log drum) Storm shake branches, but roots hold tight Never let go, through the day and night Call old names loud, pour water with smile Rains answer back, bless us a while We dance for the wise, the mothers, the strong Their fire in our steps, where we belong No cut the tree, no harm the stream We rise as one, living the dream (Pre-Chorus – light ad-lib) Feel the bounce, ye-ye, spirit overflow (Chorus – repeat, joyful ad-libs) Roots run deep, oh roots run deep! (moni-ca bounce!) Baobab tall, secrets we keep (ah-ha!) Family forever, sun and rain we face (oh-na-na!) Ancestors breathing, in every place Roots run deep, eh, roots run deep! (ye-ye!) Spirit in our veins, love we keep We are the land, healing flow free Ancestors call — come vibe with me! (bounce! ye-ye!) (Bridge – soft pull-back, airy pads, prayerful) Tonight remember… pour it low… Circle stay whole… fire glow… (Final Chorus – triumphant, layered ad-libs, fade energy) Roots run deep, oh roots run deep! Baobab watching, love run deep! Family forever, healing we share Ancestors singing, everywhere! Roots run deep, eh, roots run deep! (ah-ha! bounce!) We carry the flame, the vow we keep In soil, in blood, eagle fly high We live, we love — touch the sky! (ye-ye! moni-ca!) (Outro – fade chant + guitar) Eh… roots run deep… (oh-na-na) Roots run deep… healing forever… bounce…
