My roots are strong
I grow from many
neglect can not stop me
your cuts will remake me
Over and over you try to destroy
stubborn will keeps me alive
through the cracks of injustice
I rise up and thrive
When time collects its pay
in the dust of your bones
a new life I'll regenerate
mornings dew and suns warmth
guides me to begin life once more
