📜 Lyrics
His hands were both tied
He smiled at his daughter
They all knew it would come to this day
They asked for his last words
He didn't even bother
Just thought about what his father always said
Son in this business, you'll never find a place
For favors, forgiveness or grace
Are you bound to find hope, or just become a victim of the rope?
Sammy had a mind
So bright and full of wonder
She always had a story to tell
It all began to change when she found the holy spirit
And soon become the story herself
Hеr mother cried in the kitchеn
As they carried her out the door
A legacy baptised in a liquor store
If we only lose hope, we're bound to be the victim of a rope
The sycamore keeps growing as we water it with blood
And hold on for secrets that we bury in the mud
We can burn it to the ground or climb up the branches
To decorate a house on fire
But no matter what we choose, in the end
We're hanging by the roots
He smiled at his daughter
They all knew it would come to this day
They asked for his last words
He didn't even bother
Just thought about what his father always said
Son in this business, you'll never find a place
For favors, forgiveness or grace
Are you bound to find hope, or just become a victim of the rope?
Sammy had a mind
So bright and full of wonder
She always had a story to tell
It all began to change when she found the holy spirit
And soon become the story herself
Hеr mother cried in the kitchеn
As they carried her out the door
A legacy baptised in a liquor store
If we only lose hope, we're bound to be the victim of a rope
The sycamore keeps growing as we water it with blood
And hold on for secrets that we bury in the mud
We can burn it to the ground or climb up the branches
To decorate a house on fire
But no matter what we choose, in the end
We're hanging by the roots
