Roots

The roots of this redwood tree are extremely shallow

But imagine, they're spreading out, they're going in every direction

And they keep on going for a hundred feet or so

And when they come to the roots of another tree, they intertwine with that, they lock together

And now, not one tree, but hundreds of tree, or thousands, are linked together

And under our feet lies a vast system of interconnected roots

And that is how the redwood's able to stand tall

It's being held up, and supported, by others

(sung)

Hear the secrets in their silence

The ancient wisdom of the giants

The tree's most important lesson

Is that like the roots, we need

Connection
