Lyrics

[Verse 1]

On the mountain where I was born there are trees

That would call my name

On the wind they would bring a song for every feral need to claim

They'd say, "Keep your eyes open"

And we'll teach you to dream while you are awake

Well, they haven't spoken

Since their branches were broken for the fire that they told me to

[Verse 2]

Feral roots

Calling me back home

Feral roots

Are calling me back home

[Verse 3]

On the book where my page was torn there are

Words that I don't understand

All my elders, they tell me those words were not writ by human hands

Well, I just don't believe that's true

If the truth can be written then the truth can be hid

Those words are commanding you

Though your body may grow old in your mind you must remain a kid

[Verse 4]

Feral roots

Are calling me back home

Feral roots

Calling me back home

Feral roots

Calling me back home

Feral roots

Calling me back home

[Verse 5]

Feral roots

Calling me back home

Feral roots

Calling me back home

Feral roots

Calling me back home

Feral roots

Calling me back home
