Roots of Home: Embracing Stillness in a Restless World
Lyrics
I see people around
I observe people in my surroundings
Without roots in the ground
These people lack a sense of belonging or stability
Living most everywhere
They live in various places without a specific focus
Without a thought or care
They live without much consideration or concern
Oh and they look at me
Others look at me and question my lifestyle
And say how can he be
They wonder how I can live differently
Oh but what do they know
Despite their opinions, they lack understanding
I'm not a rolling stone
I assert that I am not a person constantly on the move
I'm not a rolling stone
Reiteration of not being a wandering soul
I guess I'm not even close
Expressing distance from the lifestyle of a rolling stone
Oh when life gets hard
During challenging times
I find my peace at home
I find comfort and tranquility at home
Don't need an open road
Rejecting the need for constant travel
Just wanna be fully known
Desiring genuine connection and understanding
I'm not a rolling stone
Reiteration of not being a rolling stone
Has it been real hard
Reflecting on the challenges of maintaining emotional defenses
To stay so on guard
Questioning the difficulty of staying vigilant
Always looking back
Constantly looking back to avoid being part of a group
To avoid the pack
Suggesting a need to listen to one's heart for change
But listen to your heart
Encouraging a new beginning
Oh it could be a start
Recognizing the potential for positive change
Build yourself a home
Advocating for creating a stable life
Quit being a rolling stone
Advising against a transient lifestyle
I'm not a rolling stone
Reiteration of not being a rolling stone
I guess I'm not even close
Emphasizing the distance from the wandering lifestyle
Oh when life gets hard
Finding solace at home during life's challenges
I find my peace at home
Reaffirming the importance of a stable home
Don't need an open road
Rejecting the allure of constant travel
Just wanna be fully known
Expressing the desire for deep and genuine connections
I'm not a rolling stone
Reiteration of not being a rolling stone
And it may just be
Considering the possibility that a transient lifestyle may suit some
That's what you need
Acknowledging personal differences in needs
But I know for me
For the speaker, the value of stability outweighs the transient lifestyle
The cost of a good thing
Highlighting the investment required for a worthwhile life
Is the sowing of seeds
Emphasizing the need for effort and commitment
Only then will you reap
Only through dedicated effort will one achieve what is necessary
Just what you need
Reaping the benefits of hard work
But you're a rolling stone
Addressing someone who is a constant wanderer
You just keep on going
Continuing to move forward despite life's challenges
Oh when life gets hard
Finding peace in the journey rather than at home
You find your peace on the road
Avoiding the stability of a home life
Still avoiding home
Choosing to keep moving
But there's still people that know
Acknowledging that some people understand the need for a stable home
That you have a home
Recognition that even those on the move have a home
