Lyrics

Lay your roots
Beneath these evergreens
Lay your roots
Beneath these ever greens
Darling tell the truth
Beneath these evergreens
We’ll see our babies bloom
Beneath these evergreens
Daughter
They will see you as a flower
Want you to wither and turn sour
But your roots are built like towers beneath you
Oh,Oh,Oh,Oh
Oh,Oh,Oh,Oh
Oh,Oh,Oh,Oh
Oh,Oh,Oh,Oh
Lay your roots
Beside this baobab stream
Lay your roots
In ancient fertile dreams
Lay your roots
Your motherland will sing (Sing, Sing)
Lay your roots
One day they’ll name you queen
Haia (Ohh)
Haia (Ohh)
Haia (Yeah, Ohh)
Haia (Yeah)
Haia (Yeah)
Haia (Yeah, ohh)
Haia (Yeah)
Haia (Yeah)
Haia
Mother, I will have to prove my worth
I’ve had this skin and name since birth
Will my roots thrive in this earth, beneath you
