[Verse 1] Buried deep in Andean stone Heart of earth You've grown alone From the heights where the condors cry To fields that catch the painted sky [Verse 2] Golden or purple Russet or red You’re the toast where the hungry are fed A thousand kinds So wild and free Whispering tales of ancestry [Chorus] Oh potato Root so true Wild and wise Your genes run through Peruvian mountains Cradle strong Sing for you The ancient song [Verse 3] Under the stars In wiry green vines Your miracles danced Defying time Lost in whispers Farmers know The spirit of fields where the tubers grow [Bridge] A famine crushed A kingdom fell But still You're here with tales to tell Through blight or frost You’ve held your ground In every bite Your soul is bound [Chorus] Oh potato Root so true Wild and wise Your genes run through Peruvian mountains Cradle strong Sing for you The ancient song
