[Verse 1] Long road Dust on my shoes Every mile Pulls me back to you Old gate Swinging in the wind I breathe in the air I remember again [Chorus] Back to the roots Where the heartbeat of my home makes me whole Fingers in the soil Feeling stories in the cold Where my roots run deep Where my roots run wide In this sacred ground I will abide I will abide (oh) In this sacred ground I will abide [Verse 2] Bare feet On the morning field Soft rain On the scars I hide and heal Sky wide But I’m not alone I can hear the hum Of a sleeping home [Chorus] Back to the roots Where the heartbeat of my home makes me whole Fingers in the soil Feeling stories in the cold Where my roots run deep Where my roots run wide In this sacred ground I will abide I will abide (yeah) In this sacred ground I will abide [Bridge] Every step away Was a circle back Every broken path Led me down this track If I lose my name I still know this light Underneath my hands Everything’s alright [Chorus] Back to the roots Where the heartbeat of my home makes me whole Fingers in the soil Feeling stories in the cold Where my roots run deep Where my roots run wide In this sacred ground I will abide I will abide (oh) In this sacred ground I will abide
