Old photograph on the wall Making the ast come alive You've got this truth I can tell From your iron gaze From your cold stare It's taking me back Who's clothes are you wearing I can see they're from the mission world Why aren't you smiling Did you know I'd be staring back Right into your eyes You're with me every step I take You're like the roots in the ground Passing love to our family You're the knowledge Youre the strength That I've found Every morning I wake up There's a reminder on the wall White clothes, black skin Cold pose eyes straight ahead You're longing for another day That's where it begins You're with me every step I take You're like the roots in the ground Passing love to our family You're the knowledge Youre the strength That I've found You're with me every step I take You're like the roots in the ground Passing love to our family You're the knowledge Your the strength of the youth You're the old, you're the new You're the past, you're the present You're my brother, you're my sister You're the future
