there's a green,green place
|
where you lift your face
|
to the sound of the waves and the wind
|
down by the shore
|
where my soul does endure
|
where the Mother Sea ends and begins
|
|
take me home
|
to the sand and the foam
|
where my dreams walk in the mist
|
i'll fall to the earth and root like a rose
|
in the salt land
|
that gave me my birth
|
|
though i wander afar
|
the same sea,the same stars
|
still shine to the tears in my eyes
|
they take me home to a land
|
that my soul understands
|
where the heart of the rose never dies
|
|
take me home
|
to the sand and the foam
|
where my dreams walk in the mist
|
i'll fall to the earth and root like a rose
|
in the salt land
|
that gave me my birth
|

Root Like a Rose
