Loop in My Roots

[Verse 1]

Sunrise on my eyelids

Same fight in my chest

Mama said “you’re strong

Child

Don’t you settle for less”

Little house

Big problems

But my heart still hums

Bare feet on the red earth

I remember where I’m from

[Chorus]

I put my loop in my roots

My roots in my soul

Round and around

Till I'm losing control (oh-woah)

I put my pain in the groove

My hope in the roll

Let it spin

Let it spin

Till it’s making me whole

[Verse 2]

Bad news on the phone line

Tears salt up my hands

But rhythm keeps on rising

Like waves over sand

Every scar

Every secret

Falls soft on the drum

When the bassline holds me

I know I’m not done

[Chorus]

I put my loop in my roots

My roots in my soul

Round and around

Till I'm losing control (losing control)

I put my pain in the groove

My hope in the roll

Let it spin

Let it spin

Till it’s making me whole (making me whole)

[Bridge]

Spin it back now

Same four bars

New feeling in my heart each time

Spin it back now

Same old scars

But they’re dancing when the pulse align

[Chorus]

I put my loop in my roots

My roots in my soul

Round and around

Till I'm losing control (hey!)

I put my pain in the groove

My hope in the roll

Let it spin

Let it spin

Till it’s making me whole
