Joanna Tomlinson and National Youth Girls' Choir of Great Britain - Truth

My roots are earth, muddy river and honeysuckle
My roots are earth, muddy river and honeysuckle
My roots are earth, muddy river and honeysuckle
Sturdy and rigid, like farmhouse planks

I shared a sisterhood with the amber grasses
My dreams climbed endlessly
Like the kudzu in July
Like the kudzu in July
I shared a sisterhood with the amber grasses
My dreams climbed endlessly, no fear in sight

In nature, in naïve youth
All the forest was possible
All the forest was possible
All the pasture was my own
All the pasture was my own

My mother told me I was beautiful
And I believed her then
Why shouldn't I?

There is no doubt in a pond
Insecurity does not grow in a meadow
It will not sprout beneath the Southern pines
It is planted by the boys on the school bus
Tended by the words of small minds
And words may wound you
But are they true?

You are beautiful
You are enough
You must believe in that
Believe the truth

My roots are earth, muddy river and honeysuckle
My roots are beautiful
My roots are strong
Hmm
