Staples, Mavis - The Root Lyrics
You can dig all day and never find the root
You gonna get dirty child digging for the root
If you looking for an answer what's wrong with the truth!
Keep digging child looking for the root
Look for love, it must be love
To be born is original, original is a sin
There's no one who can fix it, it's forgiveness in the end
Look for love, it must be love
Look for love, it must be love
Come on now, mhmmm
We keep digging digging for the root
If you looking for an answer what's wrong with the truth!
Keep digging child looking for the root
Look for love, it must be love
Look for love, it must be love
It must be love, look for love
Look for love, love
Ooooo, ooh yeah, keep looking, well
Keep on reaching, keep reaching
Digging (aha)
Keep loving, loving, loving
Keep looking
Look for love, find your love
Love on
If you looking for an answer what's wrong with the truth?
Keep digging child looking for the root!
