Roots MAG
It is older than dirt
It has inspired all, from beginning to end
It gave strength to Adam and Eve when
They had to leave
It gave will to Noah
When the rain came down
And the animals had to come
It has led leaders with tons of courage
David Solomon Alexander Lincoln
All knew it
It has grown ideas that feed a whole village
As though it’s the seed
And they are its soil
Martin Luther King Jr. was soil
As was Gandhi
Einstein too
It doesn’t just visit those in the past
It sees people today too, and we see it
in them
Malala Yousafzai Ebola fighters all its soil
It doesn’t discriminate between us
Religion sex race age – it’s blind to all
of this
It just sees your heart, if there’s love
and a want
A want to change things for the good
It will be your seed then
It is Hope
