Lyrics
Amen
Why? (Amen, amen)
Ooh, ooh
Well
Oh-whoa (ooh, ooh)
You can dig all day and never find the root
You're gonna get dirty, child, digging for the root
If you're looking for the answer, what's wrong with the truth?
Keep digging, child, looking for the root
Look for love, must be love
Look for love, must be love
To be born is original, original is sin
There's no one that can fix it, it's forgiveness in the end
Look for love, must be love
Look for love, must be love
Amen
Why?
If you're looking for the answer, what's wrong with the truth?
Keep digging, child, looking for the root
And we keep reaching, we keep reaching for the fruit
We keep digging, we keep digging for the root
If you're looking for the answer, what's wrong with the truth?
Keep digging, child, looking for the root
Look for love, must be love
Look for love, must be love
You look for love, must be love
You look for love, must be love
Yeah, must be love
If you're looking, must be love, yeah (reaching, digging)
(Keep reaching) for fruit
Keep looking, looking for the answer
Keep digging, digging for the root
If you're looking for the answer, what's wrong with the truth?
Keep digging, looking for the root
