Roots - The Reklaws

He’s a junior

Star of his hometown team

Got the grades, got the girl, got it all so it seems

Those big game lights in his eyes

Never felt so alive, so wild, so free

Now the fall has come and gone

He’s got his country colours on

Sitting there in the drive with his dad

And he says…

When the stars line on up

And you finally strike gold

When the pressure’s way too much

But the diamond starts to show

When your prayers get answered

God’s plan unfolds

Now don’t you forget to…

Make mistakes, lose your way

Get some dirt on your boots

Call your mom, write your friends

Ones that were there for you

Remember all of them people

When your dreams come true

Now don’t you forget your roots

She has seen him

Giving his heart to the game

Every night paid the price now he’s finally got a break

Calls home saying 'Mom we’ve been dreaming 'bout this day.'

Tears streaming down his face

Through the phone and his momma she says…

When the stars line on up

And you finally strike gold

When the pressure’s way too much

But the diamond starts to show

When your prayers get answered

God’s plan unfolds

Now don’t you forget to…

Make mistakes, lose your way

Get some dirt on your boots

Call your mom, write your friends

Ones that were there for you

Remember all of them people

When your dreams come true

Now don’t you forget your roots

Oh, now don’t you forget your roots

Oh

When the stars line on up

And you finally strike gold

When the pressure’s way too much

But the diamond starts to show

When your prayers get answered

God’s plan unfolds

Now don’t you forget to…

Make mistakes, lose your way

Get some dirt on your boots

Call your mom, write your friends

Ones that were there for you

Remember all of them people

When your dreams come true

Now don’t you forget your roots

Now don’t you forget your roots
