Born in the heart of Africa where the sun kisses the land
With dreams as big as the oceans carried in God's hand
The roots of my past they keep me strong
Through Mwari makaropafadza ndinokutendai zvizhinji
Born in the heart of Africa where the sun kisses the land
With dreams as big as the oceans carried in God's hand
The roots of my past they keep me strong
Through Mwari makaropafadza ndinokutendai zvizhinji
Born in the heart of Africa where the sun kisses the land
With dreams as big as the oceans carried in God's hand
The roots of my past they keep me strong
Through every trial they've carried me along
Wings to rise to touch the skies
To find my place where the future lies
But I never forget where I'm from
My roots are my anchor my heart's home
I've got roots that hold me steady
Wings to fly high
Through every storm every song I sing
I thank you Lord for my
I've got roots that hold me steady
Wings to fly high
Through every storm every song I sing
Lord I thank you
Roots to hold me steady and wings to fly high
Europe's skies may be colder but my fire burns bright
Guided by the wisdom of my ancestors' light
My family's love my children's smiles
Are the treasures I carry across the miles
I stand tall with every step I take
Rooted in truth with no dreams to forsake
Every victory every tear I've cried
Is part of the wings that lift me high
I've got roots that hold me steady
Wings to fly high
Through every storm every song I sing
Lord I thank you
Roots to remind me of who I am
Wings to take me to the promised land
Oh the journey's long but I am strong
With faith and love I'll carry on
Nemhuri yangu I will fly high
Rudo rwavo ndiro simba rangu mukati
Hakuna chinondikanganisa
Ndine midzi ndine mapapiro ndine tariro
I've got roots that hold me steady
Wings to fly high
Through every storm every song I sing
Lord I thank you
Roots to hold me steady and wings to fly high
Roots and wings Thank you Lord
Grounded in my past free as I can be
Africa to Europe my story begins
Forever grateful for my roots and wings
