The Spark (1902)

[Verse 1]
Before the dawn is when it seems most cold
But as sure as the sun rises in the east, we know that
The stream of evolution is a constant flow
And the current evolution says that I should really go

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you know that every seed wants to grow?
We can't stay underground forever
They can cut us off as soon as we begin to show
What they don't know is that the roots still grow

[Chorus]
When the roots pop up, when the roots pop up
When the roots pop up, when the roots pop up
When the roots pop up, when the roots pop up
When the roots pop up, when the roots pop up

[Verse 2]
They can try with all of their might to push us down to the ground
But I know we'll be all right, right?
They mean to break my spirit through this exile
But I can use this time to further refine and fortify my style

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you know that every seed wants to grow?
We can't stay underground forever
They can cut us off as soon as we begin to show
What they don't know is that the roots still grow

[Chorus]
When the roots pop up, when the roots pop up
When the roots pop up, when the roots pop up
When the roots pop up, when the roots pop up
When the roots pop up, when the roots pop up

[Verse 3]
The world that we're all living in is in need of a plan for the brotherhood of man
So I'm off and running fast as I can, and the antidote I'm bringing is the pen in my hand, man!

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you know that every seed wants to grow?
We can't stay underground forever
They can cut us off as soon as we begin to show
What they don't know is that the roots still grow

[Bridge]
We're finally doing all the things we were meant for!
We're finally saying all the things we should say!
We're finally doing all the things we were meant for!
We're finally saying all the things we should say!

[Chorus]
When the roots pop up, when the roots pop up
When the roots pop up, when the roots pop up
When the roots pop up, when the roots pop up
When the roots pop up, when the roots pop up
