Roots Don’t Break - Roots Reggae

Roots Don’t Break — an original roots reggae song by Wild Roots, with male vocals and a story of resilience, family and starting again. 🌿 HOLD ON TO WHAT MATTERS When work disappears and home feels uncertain, a father holds on to his family and his dignity.

The letter came Friday, said work had gone dead, two lines on a page for the end of it all. I stood in the yard with my hands in my coat, looking down at the ground where the roots had their hold. Roots don't break, they just bend in the rain, they hold in the dark and they come up again. Take the roof, take the wages, take the name off the door — roots don't break, and I've been down before. My daughter asked Sunday if we had to leave town, I told her the truth and I told it out straight: the money is thin and the rent's coming round, but nothing that matters can fit in a crate. Roots don't break, they just bend in the rain, they hold in the dark and they come up again. Take the roof, take the wages, take the name off the door — roots don't break, and I've been down before. I've seen men with plenty go hollow and thin, I've seen men with nothing still whistle and grin. It isn't the harvest that measures the tree — it's what's under the ground, where you can't even see. Roots don't break, they just bend in the rain, they hold in the dark and they come up again. We patched up the roof and we opened the door — and the old mango flowered once more. Roots don't break, roots don't break... ━━━━━━━━━━ 🎼 ABOUT THE CREATION Created with generative AI tools under human creative direction.
