[Verse 1]
There's a place that I go to in my head just to forget it all
Be myself, where the sun is up and everything is beautiful
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't forget my history
Happiness and misery
Don't care what they do, what they say
And what they think of me at all
[Chorus]
Now I’m not a preacher, I’m not here to teach ya
But you should know I’m not a girl anymore
My truth is a mission, I hold and I never let go
I love my roots and this I know
[Drop]
I love my roots and this I know, yeah, I know, yeah, I know
You let me loose and here I go, yeah, I go, yeah, I go
I love my roots and this I know, yeah, I know, yeah, I know
You let me loose and here I go, yeah, I go, yeah, I go
I love my...
[Verse 2]
I'm different now
My feelings don’t seem to change with every season
I’m loving myself and I don’t need a reason
You should take me as I am or let me go
[Pre-Chorus]
I won't forget my history
Happiness and misery
Don't care what they do what they say
And what they think of me at all
[Chorus]
Now I’m not a preacher, I’m not here to teach ya
But you should know I’m not a girl anymore
My truth is a mission, I hold and I never let go
I love my roots and this I know
[Drop]
I love my roots and this I know, yeah, I know, yeah, I know
You let me loose and here I go, yeah, I go, yeah, I go
I love my roots and this I know, yeah, I know, yeah, I know
You let me loose and here I go, yeah, I go, yeah, I go
I love my...
[Bridge]
Soon we will rise from our memories
And then, with time, we'll forget we were enemies
Still I hope it takes not to long to realize
Soon we will rise from our memories
And then, with time, we'll forget we were enemies
Still I hope it takes not to long to realize
[Chorus]
Now I’m not a preacher, I’m not here to teach ya
But you should know I’m not a girl anymore
My truth is a mission, I hold and I never let go
I love my roots and this I know
