Heavenly Roots

Verse

I was raised where the fields roll easy,

Where a handshake meant your name.

Where neighbors talked like family

And love wasn’t just a game.

Daddy’s voice still guides me

When the world feels cold and strange,

And Uncle Karl at the speedway

Taught me courage doesn’t change.

Verse

Grandma prayed with quiet strength,

Grandpa worked with steady hands.

They taught me faith is something

You don’t lose when life demands.

But folks don’t look up anymore,

They rush and turn away—

No “thank you,” no “God bless you,"

Just another empty day.

Chorus

But I’ve got heavenly roots

Holding strong beneath my feet,

From the farm roads to the angels

Watching over me so sweet.

I’ve lost some voices on the way,

But their love still pulls me through—

Yeah, I stand tall ’cause I was raised

With heavenly roots.

Verse

Some days I feel invisible,

Like no one sees me here.

But my husband and our sweet cats

Keep my heart safe and clear.

I don’t trust the gossip people,

They don’t know the life I’ve known—

But the Lord and those who raised me

Never leave me on my own.

Verse

And when the world feels heavy,

And kindness feels so rare,

I remember every moment

When my family showed they cared.

I’m not broken, I’m not bitter,

I’m just holding to the truth—

The world may change, but I remain

With heavenly roots.

Chorus

Yeah, I’ve got heavenly roots

Running deep down in my soul,

From the farm fields to the angels

Who still guide me as I go.

I’ve lost some voices on the way,

But their love still pulls me through—

I’m still standing, still believing

In my heavenly roots.
