Finding Our Roots (Roots Reggae) Verse 1 They tried to silence every voice, Erase the words of our first choice. From generation down the line, They broke the stories lost in time. When a mother tongue fades away, A people's spirit starts to sway. But deep inside our hearts we know, Our roots are stronger than they show. Pre-Chorus They can hide the truth for years, But they can't erase our tears. The heart remembers where we came, And keeps alive our people's flame. Chorus We don't want to forget our roots, We want to learn our mother tongue again. To hear the voices of our elders, And find our way back home again. We don't want to forget our roots, Our history is stronger than the pain. Hand in hand we'll stand together, Our heritage will rise again. Verse 2 Across the islands of the Caribbean Sea, Our ancestors kept their dignity. Even when their voices were denied, Their songs and spirits stayed alive. Now it's our turn to carry the flame, To speak our language without shame. To teach our children where they're from, So future generations carry on. Bridge Speak it, sing it, don't be afraid, Let our memory never fade. Every word we bring to life, Heals another piece inside. Final Chorus We don't want to forget our roots, We want to learn our mother tongue again. To reclaim our songs, our story, our voice, And pass them on to every generation. Rise together, people of the Caribbean, For a tree without roots can never truly grow.
