Lyrics Roots - World Junior Song - The Reklaws

He's a junior
Star of his hometown team
Got the grades, got the girl, got it all so it seems
Those big game lights in his eyes
Never felt so alive, so wild, so free

Now the fall has come and gone
He's got his country colours on
He's sittin' there in the drive with his dad and he says

When the stars line on up and you finally strike gold
When the pressures way too much
But the diamond starts to show
When your prayers get answered Gods plan unfolds
Now don't you forget to

Make mistakes
Lose your way
Get some dirt on your boots
Call your mom
Write your friends

Ones that were there for you
Remember all the little people when your dreams come true
Now don't you forget your roots

She has seen him
Givin' his heart to the game
Every night paid the price now he's finally got his break
Calls home saying, "Mom we've been
Dreaming bout this day"
Tears streaming down his face through the phone and his mama she says

When the stars line on up and you finally strike gold
When the pressures way too much
But the diamond starts to show
When your prayers get answered gods plan unfolds
Now don't you forget to

Make mistakes
Lose your way
Get some dirt on your boots
Call your mom
Write your friends

Ones that were there for you
Remember all the little people when your dreams come true
Now don't you forget your roots

Now don't you forget your roots

When the stars line on up and you finally strike gold
When the pressures way too much
But the diamond starts to show
When your prayers get answered god's plan unfolds
Now don't you forget to

Make mistakes
Lose your way
Get some dirt on your boots
Call your mom
Write your friends
Ones that were there for you

Remember all the little people when your dreams come true
Now don't you forget your roots
Now don't you forget your roots
Now don't you forget your roots
