Lyrics
Sometimes I wonder if I'm too far uprooted
Sometimes I question if I'm too distant from my roots
Am I cut too deep to lay claim to this land?
Am I deeply wounded, unable to claim this territory?
Perhaps I'm estranged, I'm too far pulled out
Maybe I feel disconnected, pulled too far away
Left on the side with the weeds and the sand
Left on the periphery with undesirable elements like weeds and sand
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Expression of emotion or contemplation
What happens when severed
Questioning the outcome of being severed from something
But I still grow up strong?
Despite being severed, still growing strong
Where do my veins reach?
Where do my connections extend?
Do I even belong?
Uncertainty about belonging
Where do I pull from
Where do I draw strength when in a crowd?
When I stand in a crowd?
Seeking identity within a group
Where is my common face
Where is my recognizable identity, possibly hidden?
Is it masked in a shroud?
Is my true self concealed?
Are these peaks my mountains?
Questioning personal achievements or high points
Is this water my stream?
Is this body of water my source of life?
Can I claim this rock
Can I claim this challenging situation as my own?
A stretch though it seems?
Claiming ownership despite difficulties
My bare feet to the earth
Connecting bare feet to the earth, seeking grounding
Who hears me call?
Who listens when I reach out?
Who feels my heartbeat
Who senses my existence when I'm isolated and vulnerable?
When I'm alone and small?
Reflecting on loneliness and insignificance
Which family's ghosts
Which family's past continues to influence and trouble me?
Will haunt me and play?
Haunted by familial ghosts
Which ancestor's spirits
Protected and guided by ancestral spirits
Protect me and stay?
Contemplation on the significance of blood and familial ties
What is blood? What are lines?
Questioning the impact of lineage and connections
Are cuts healed through time?
Wondering if wounds and conflicts heal with time
Am I accepted, am I enough?
Seeking acceptance and self-worth
Are these vines sutured with love?
Exploring the idea of familial bonds being mended with love
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Expression of emotion or contemplation
Sometimes I wonder if I'm too far uprooted
Reiteration of questioning distance from roots
Sometimes I wonder can I lay claim to this land
Revisiting the claim to ownership of a place
Sometimes I wonder if I'm too far pulled out
Repeating the feeling of being too far removed
Sometimes I wonder if I'm left on the side
Reiterating the sense of being left aside or neglected
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Expression of emotion or contemplation
