About the Song

This song is on Emma's Revolution's "Rooted" album.

When I wake up in the morning & I open my eyes
I remember to be grateful for the bright blue skies
And I wonder what I’m here for, give me meaning, I pray
For the breath in this body I’ve been given today
Am E Am - / - - E - / Am - D - / Am E Am -

And I listen to the wind as she whispers low
I am always here - you are not alone
Hold firmly to your power, you are blood & bone
Water & a gale will wash away stone
E - Am - / D - E - / Am - D - / Am E Am -

Unsteady on my feet as I rise from my bed
I need a song to quiet all the noise in my head
Memories of heartache unresolved from the past
I’m ready to release them from my spirit at last

May my heart be strengthened, my purpose be clear
May I always remember the path that led here
Children of ancients, seeds of the soil
Born of resistance, beauty & toil
