They paint their walls in yellow and brown
And write the words on the roofs
For breakfast they are having ginger and lime
And count a dollar for two
I think I'd be honored to come to their home
And learn how much stronger I am
But I must hold on
To my roots in order to stand
You can either buy yourself a new Hi-Fi
Or just walk to the grocery store
And on the ceiling splattered with wine
To meditate sitting alone
Surrender your head into the TV screen
And think you'll get smarter this way
But I must hold on
To my roots in order to stand
They say that today her lips became faster than the mercury
That she's gone to far, and nothing we do, can now return her back here
But is there the one, just one among us who could have gone through what she have
Or maybe just say out what we're owing to her
But the further, the faster it goes
Remembering fathers, we are calling for moms
And they say the fun never ends in their place
And lights in their house never fade
But I must hold on
To my roots in order to stand
