Now it's been 25 years or more I've roamed this land from shore to shore From Tyne to Tamar, Severn to Thames From moor to vale, from peak to fen Played in cafes, pubs and bars I've stood in the street with my old guitar But I'd be richer than all the rest If I had a pound for each request For 'Duelling Banjos', 'American Pie' It's enough to make you cry 'Rule Britannia', or 'Swing low...' Are they the only songs we English know? Seed, bark, flower, fruit They're never gonna grow without their roots Branch, stem, shoot They need roots After the speeches, when the cake's been cut The disco's over and the bar is shut At christening, birthday, wedding or wake What can we sing 'til the morning breaks When the Indians, Asians, Afro-Celts It's in their blood, below their belt They're playing and dancing all night long So what have they got right that we've got wrong? Seed, bark, flower, fruit They're never gonna grow without their roots Branch, stem, shoot They need roots and Haul away boys, let them go Out in the wind and the rain and snow We've lost more than we'll ever know 'Round the rocky shores of England We need roots And a minister said his vision of hell Is three folk singers in a pub near Wells Well, I've got a vision of urban sprawl There's pubs where no-one ever sings at all And everyone stares at a great big screen Overpaid soccer stars, prancing teens Australian soap, American rap Estuary English, baseball caps And we learn to be ashamed before we walk Of the way we look, and the way we talk Without our stories or our songs How will we know where we come from? I've lost St. George in the Union Jack It's my flag too and I want it back Seed, bark, flower, fruit Never gonna grow without their roots Branch, stem, shoot We need roots Haul away boys, let them go Out in the wind and the rain and snow We've lost more than we'll ever know 'Round the rocky shores of England We need roots...

Wide awake In the dead of night While the world comes apart You keep watch When my vision is blurry And my thoughts run afar You step in When the wolves come prowling And the thieves come to steal 'Cause You don't sleep When my world spins in darkness And I can't tell what's real Show me Your heart 'Cause I need a Father Show me Your love 'Cause I need something that won't break Show me Your scars 'Cause I need a Saviour Show me Your heart 'Cause I just need a place I can run And fall into the arms of my Father I just need to know there's someone So beautiful to me You don't hide From my heavy mess When I hide the worst parts You don't run From the thick of the fight No You never lose heart You don't quit When I throw the towel in Or lose patience when I fall 'Cause You just give And You'll never give up 'Til I'm every bit Yours So show me Your heart 'Cause I need a Father Show me Your love 'Cause I need something that won't break Show me Your scars 'Cause I need a Saviour Show me Your heart 'Cause I just need a place I can run And fall into the arms of my Father 'Cause I just need to know there's someone So beautiful to me Oh, what's impossible To a heart that trusts in You I'll sing Your praise Like it's all that I got And my life depends on You Singing Oh, what's impossible To this love I have in You I'll sing Your praise Like it's all that I got And my all belongs to You Singing Oh, what's impossible To a heart that trusts in You I'll sing Your praise Like it's all I got And my life depends on You, oh-oh-oh Oh, what's impossible To this love I have in You I'll sing Your praise Like it's all I got And my all belongs to You, oh You've been faithful So I will trust You Even when the way is dark You'll hold true When the rest fades away So I'll sing Your praise Yeah, I'll sing Your praise Oh, what's impossible To a heart that trusts in You I'll sing Your praise Like it's all that I got And my life depends on You Singing Oh, what's impossible To this love I have in You? I'll sing Your praise Til it's all I got And my all belongs to You

Why am I in pain? Why does it hurt to know you? You'll let me down again If I turned my insides out, Would you even know that I was there? Why does it hurt to love you? Why does it hurt To love? I'm not your seed (Not your girl, not your girl) Now maybe you'll listen to me (Listen to me, listen to me) I'm sure you'll let me bleed (Let me bleed) Not at all your seed 'Cause I'm not your girl anymore

(Singing and dancing through life?) Is my integrity worth anything at all? (But happiness can't come before its fall) Am I crazy? (Maybe I've always been) I've become what I've hated? (Or maybe I never did, It's awful freeing now) To share the hate I felt But what will I let in if I Let it out? Let it out, let it out, let it out! (Am I crazy?) I don't think so Let it out, let it out, let it out! (Maybe I've always been) Just let it out, let it out, let it out! God help me out! Let it out, let it out If I let it (Out!)
