Lyrics

Bare feet in the dirt
Blessed to grow up
Running round and getting hurt
Bloody knees, climbing trees
Fall to the earth, hide and seeking
Capture flaggin on a search..
Bare feet in the dirt, yah
Bare feet in the dirt
Blessed to grow up
Rolling round and getting hurt
Bloody knees climbing trees
Fall to the earth
What are we seeking
What’s the answer to our search?
Don’t forget about the earth

Mama had a garden she was workin in the yard
And we was playing in the mud
Water soakin up the earth tones
Church goin’ folks
Later got up in that Sunday’s best
Birds flock but they first must leave they birds nest and fly
One can study wise words but then words often lie
Twist em up to obscure what’s underneath em
Use ‘em like a map but they are not the path, don’t forget it
When you pass where they point, don’t look back, you can leave em

In the dirt
Blessed to grow up
Running round and getting hurt
Bloody knees, climbing trees
Fall to the earth, hide and seeking
Capture flaggin on a search..
Bare feet in the dirt, yah
Bare feet in the dirt
Blessed to grow up
Rolling round and getting hurt
Bloody knees climbing trees
Fall to the earth
What are we seeking
What’s the answer to our search?
Don’t forget about the earth

Mama had a garden and we understood our part in it
Enmeshed into a web of life
Belonging to the heart of it
No wonder now we’re anxious
Our Culture stays at war with it
Broken-hearted people
In this old and tired story it’s
A shame we keep repeating
All these patterns self defeating
Hiding all our wounds,
It’s like laughing while you’re bleeding
Divided at the roots from our mother
Keep the truth from each other
What’s the use? Oh, my brother
When were you last...

Bare foot in the dirt
Blessed to grow up
Running round and getting hurt
Bloody knees, climbing trees
Fall to the earth, hide and seeking
Capture flaggin on a search..
Bare feet in the dirt, yah
Bare feet in the dirt
Blessed to grow up
Rolling round and getting hurt
Bloody knees climbing trees
Fall to the earth
What are we seeking
What’s the answer to our search?
Don’t forget about the earth
Reach down
Touch ground
