|
I was born in the strangest time |
|
I had no roots that i could find |
|
People living in rows and lines |
|
Started me digging |
|
Say, where oh where's the forgotten tree |
|
The many branches of humanity |
|
Whose roots come down to you and me |
|
Why is it hidden? |
|
So i search the earth and i search the sky |
|
Beyond the shores and borderlines |
|
From the andes up to the northern rockies |
|
I will not stop 'til i find me the mother tree |
|
Well our tongues were tied and our hands were bound |
|
People robbed of common ground |
|
When the new boss came to town |
|
The old ways started dying |
|
I looked for clues but what i heard |
|
Was truth twisted, history blurred |
|
Divide the people, conquer the world |
|
But the tree survived |
|
So i search the earth and i search the sky |
|
Beyond the shores and borderlines |
|
From the highlands to the aegean sea |
|
No i will not stop, i will not stop |
|
Yeah, i search the earth and i search the sky |
|
Beyond the shores and borderlines |
|
I will cross the nile to the kalahari |
|
I will not stop 'til i find me the mother tree |
|
From the himalayas to ayers rock |
|
I'm scaling the walls and i'm picking the locks |
|
And i'm discovering that each of us |
|
Came from the indigenous |
|
Where oh where is the mother tree |
|
Gonna hunt the mystery |
|
From the northern lights to the caspian sea |
|
Why is it hidden? |
|
Gonna find that magic wood |
|
Bring the seeds back home for good |
|
To plant in my old neighborhood |
|
I feel it, i feel it coming |
|
So i search the earth and i search the sky |
|
Beyond the shores and borderlines |
|
Going up the indus and down the yangtze |
|
I will not stop, i will not stop |
|
Yeah, i search the earth and i search the sky |
|
Beyond the shores and borderlines |
|
I will sail the shannon in search of thee |
|
And i will not stop 'til i find me the mother tree |
|
From the yucatan i'm on my way |
|
To hokkaido and spirits bay... |
