Garnet Silk Jr ft. Jesse Royal - Oak Tree Lyrics

The light can't be denied, blessed and sanctified (OH)

(OOH well yeah) You don't even know me
Roots run so deep
Hold firm like an Oak Tree
Wild and so free (yeahh)

From the smallest of seeds
My roots they run deep
So wild and so free
Firm like an oak tree

From the smallest of seeds
My roots they run deep
So wild and so free
Firm like an oak tree

Sometimes we find we self down we neva see we self out
Rastafari teach I seh fi kill di self doubt
Strengthen up yuh mind and be a diligent youth
Reuben touch di field wid couple militant troups
Seh yuh haffi start low, only way you can grow
Haffi try hard only way you can know
Reaching skyward den one day you branch out
Tell mi seh mi hype you nah guh see mi hands out no

From the smallest of seeds
My roots they run deep
So wild and so free
Firm like an oak tree

See I was at the mercy of circumstance
Until I stopped believing in chance
Suh mi find out seh di worl inna mi hands
To a different beat man a skank
Eyy now mi steppin wid a confidence weh hard fi knock
If dem neva know di time is mine O' clock
Supm like a Macadamia, hard fi crack
Full speed ahead and we nah look back

That's why it never mattered what they say
The wind it never troubled me
And after every hurricane
My life is looking lovely
Parasites on my family tree
I see friends turn to enemies
But you jus haffi let them go, let them know
You can't hold on to dead leaves
Jah a mi guide and mi fortress
Nah get trapped inna dem vortex
Dem waa mi rooted out di ground but dem powerless
No dem cyaa cease mi progress

From the smallest of seeds
My roots they run deep
So wild and so free
Firm like an oak tree
