about
In my humble observation, it seems to me that men who lead with the heart help keep the world in a more harmonious state. The ‘Rootsman’ is any man rooted in his natural state, putting love into his choices and doing it without harming anyone else.
lyrics
ROOTSMAN
Conjured, in the writings of war
A review of a breed of man.
Conflict, follows along
Where the conflicted mind exists
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Some say the gun
Is the only way to realize, true nature
But discover inner worth
Find your heaven on the earth
You got to let the natural highs engage ya!
Oh the Rootsman’s any man, he keep his spirit on fire
He open up and let the waters flow
Oh the Rootsman’s any man, who put the love in desire
He open up and let his feelings show
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh the Rootsman’s any man, he keep his spirit on fire
He open up and let the waters flow
Oh the Rootsman’s any man, who put the love in desire
He open up and let his feelings show
Oh why can’t we be, champions of the free?
Free ourselves, free ourselves
No need for a kingdom
You’ve got one within
If we continue the darkness will win
And divide us
Conquer and divide us
Conquer and divide us
Conquer and divide us
Oh Oh Oh
Oh the Rootsman’s any man, he keep his spirit on fire
He open up and let the waters flow
Oh the Rootsman’s any man, who put the love in desire
He open up and let his feelings show
