Simon Paul Arneberg - Roots Lyrics

I need to get out and discover the world
For time rushes on to the sea
The waters, they fall and the mountains, they call
My heart, oh, it yearns to be free
I dream of a place far beyond all I've seen
With fullness of life in the air
There's nothing to fear in the passage of years
My heart, oh, it longs to be there
But now I'm here, among my roots
Planted firmly in the ground
And who's to say how long I'll stay?
How long I'll stick around
And one day I fear I must leave this behind
To forge out my path on my own
The clouds, they will come just as sure as the sun
And then, oh, I'll see how I've grown
I'll journey to places that match what I dream
Those yearnings before I began
The places I'll be and the faces I'll see
And oh, it will shape who I am
But now I'm here, among my roots
Planted firmly in the ground
And who's to say how long I'll stay?
How long I'll stick around
