Roots Lyrics - Shawn Mcdonald

I've heard it said that a wise man 

Does not live on bread alone 

But off the everlasting words 

Dripping from the Almighty's tongue 

And I've heard it said that a wise man 

Does not look at himself in the mirror 

Then turn away and walk 

Forgetting what he looks like standing there 

Oh, men like these 

They are just like trees 

Planted near streams of water 

With roots that grow 

Deep, deep into the ground 

I've heard it said that a wise man 

Ignores the call from the corner 

Even with her seductive eyes 

He turns away, he doesn't listen to her lies 

And oh, men like these 

They are just like trees 

Planted near streams of water 

With roots that grow 

Deep, deep into the ground 

Into the ground 

Into the ground 

Into the ground 

Into the ground 

Into the ground 

Into the ground 

And oh, men like these 

They are just like trees 

Planted near streams of water 

With roots that grow 

Deep, deep into the ground 

Into the ground 

Into the ground 

Into the ground 

Into the ground 

Into the ground 

Into the ground
