[Verse 1] Transparent water falls No color at all It slips through the dust And kisses the clay The ground takes it in Keeps it safe below Then roots start drinking deep Where the dark things grow [Pre-Chorus] And something quiet starts Under the skin of the earth A hidden hand at work Making new worth [Chorus] Color in the roots Color in the roots What was washed away Comes back in bloom Color in the roots Color in the roots From a pale gray world We grow into hue [Verse 2] I saw the trunk stand still Like it knew the plan Gray on the outside Gold in the span The leaves began to turn One by one by one Like lanterns waking up When the storm is done [Pre-Chorus] And every drop that fell Found a place to stay What looked like nothing then Changed the whole day [Chorus] Color in the roots Color in the roots What was washed away Comes back in bloom Color in the roots Color in the roots From a pale gray world We grow into hue [Bridge] You can’t always see What the sorrow feeds But deep in the dark It plants the seed Let it pass through Let it reach the stone The quiet below Can make us whole [Chorus] Color in the roots Color in the roots What was washed away Comes back in bloom Color in the roots Color in the roots From a pale gray world We grow into hue
