[Lyric] Roots of Stone (Barefoot Truth)

We're broke down hungry, but the money's gone
Been a... storm growing since before I was born
They'll tell ya life ain't fair, no one said it was
Better grab all you can and keep moving on

But what's there to take when the well run dry
When the levee break, and we blacken the sky
There will be a darker tuesday than 1929
Better all get together to fight for one side

Chorus:
Oh what's done is done and now it's really quite a shame
Go on and leave me cause I ain't expecting to be saved
So as long as air reaches my lungs I'll carry on
No you can not break a man with roots of stone

Blood soaked tears and callused hands
Fought civil war and through foreign lands
Been on the run and overran, can we make it through?
Yes we can
Our roots so deep you know they fuel our pride
See me walk right up to a firing line
Cause what matters is our freedom
You could hold us back....but we'll overcome

Chorus:
What's done is done and now it's really quite a shame
Go on and leave me cause I ain't expecting to be saved
So as long as air reaches my lungs I'll carry on
No you can not shake a man with roots of stone

When the world falls down man you can't blame somebody else
Pick up the pieces, put em back on the shelf
Your roots run deep you take care of yourself
But you can't help the one's who won't help themselves
You never can change the hand your dealt
Pick up the pieces put em' back on the shelf
Your roots run deep you take care of yourself
But you can't help the one's who won't help themselves

Chorus:
Oh what's done is done and now it's really quite a shame
Go on and leave me cause I ain't expecting to be saved
So as long as air reaches my lungs I'll carry on
No you can not break a man with roots of stone
Oh what's done is done and now it's really quite a shame
Go on and leave me cause I ain't expecting to be saved
So as long as air reaches my lungs I'll carry on
No you can not kill a man with roots of stone
