Clear the Roots

Lyrics By: J.G. Argo ©2026 Inspired by a dream. [Intro – spoken / distant vocal] Morning light on unfamiliar ground No map, no past, just open sound A voice said, “Son, the land is yours” But the roots run deep beneath the floor [Verse 1] A giant stands in the middle of the field Older than everything I thought I knew Shadow wide across the earth Roots pushing through the soil Six inches thick Six inches above the ground [Pre-Chorus] Sun overhead Everything visible Nothing hidden [Chorus] I cut it down I worked the roots The land opens The ground breathes Space for what comes next [Verse 2] Sap runs slow along the trunk Every ring holds a story The tree was alive Still it fell The land needed to breathe I made room [Bridge – rhythmic / tribal build] Dig the iron through the clay Lift the roots that held the day Every hidden thread Every quiet truth Pulled loose Let go [Final Chorus – anthemic, minimal rhyme] I cut it down I cleared the roots The land opens The ground breathes The sun moves across the sky Space for what comes next [Outro – atmospheric] Morning light on open ground Wind moves through a different sound Nothing planted Nothing sown Just the freedom of the loam
