Roots

1960s Ohio In the age of the rising and falling of boundaries A sin, a cut above Treason is turning your back on the family I love, and I hate Don't worry, don't wait Disallowed lack of conscience 30 long years of unending silence Still running strong One man in the saga, in the present day The ultimate task To have love for the one who pushed you away You're white, he's black Pack your shit Don't come back They passed the test I'm not sorry that they took your breath And I'll break away From the burned out old bridges remaining today And I won't accept The family tradition of turning your back Still running strong One man in the saga in the present day The ultimate task To have love for the one who pushed you away I love, and I hate Don't worry, don't wait Disallowed lack of conscience 30 long years of unending silence And I'll break away From the burned out old bridges remaining today And I won't accept The family tradition of turning your back I'll fly away I'll fly away I'll fly away I'll fly away And I'll break away From the burned out old bridges remaining today And I won't accept The family tradition of turning your back
