[Intro — 4 bars, vocal doux over guitar] Mmmh... yeah... Some things don't need a reason They just grow... [Verse 1] I don't need much to feel alive A little sun, a little drive The kind of people who stay close When the world feels like a ghost You never asked me to explain You just stood there through the rain No crown, no throne, no empty words Just real — like birdsong in the early birds [Pre-Chorus] And I've been thinking lately How lucky I am to know That love ain't always crazy Sometimes it's just... slow [Chorus — hook fort, mémorable] Roots and gold That's what we are, that's what we hold Not loud, not sold Just deep and true, never cold Love without conditions Friendship that holds Respect is the religion Roots and gold [Verse 2] I've seen the ones who come and go Like seasons I no longer know But you're the kind that stays like earth The quiet ones who know your worth No mirror game, no borrowed light You shine for real — you feel right I keep your name close to my chest Among the few I call the best [Pre-Chorus] And I've been thinking lately How lucky I am to know That love ain't always crazy Sometimes it's just... slow [Chorus] Roots and gold That's what we are, that's what we hold Not loud, not sold Just deep and true, never cold Love without conditions Friendship that holds Respect is the religion Roots and gold [Bridge — plus dépouillé, voix en avant] We don't need to shout it We don't need the crowd I feel you in the silence You feel me in the loud Some things are born between two souls No explanation needed Just love that fills the holes [Outro — reggae skank ralenti, fade out] Roots... and gold... Yeah, yeah... You know who you are... Stay close... Mmmh...
