Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh-oh
The earth is calling me home
Barefoot on the red dust, drumbeat in my chest
I let the old fire do the rest
Every scar a doorway, every breath a key
The medicine was always inside of me
I can feel it rising, rising from the ground
A thousand voices in one sound
I am the roots of thunder, I am the open sky
Spirit running wild through me, I was never meant to hide
Dancing on the mountain with the ancestors tonight
I am the roots of thunder, thunder, thunder rising
Yo, I walked through the shadow with a candle in my hand
Learned to bend like the willow, learned to make a stand
They can't cage a soul that was born from the flame
I speak it into being, call the power by name
Divine in my DNA, starlight in my veins
Healing generations, breaking hidden chains
The drum says move, so I move with the moon
From the ashes to the bloom, this is my tune
I can feel it rising, rising from the ground
A thousand voices in one sound
I am the roots of thunder, I am the open sky
Spirit running wild through me, I was never meant to hide
Dancing on the mountain with the ancestors tonight
I am the roots of thunder, thunder, thunder rising
Hey-ya, hey-ya, ho-na-na-ye
Mother earth, I hear you, take my fear away
Hey-ya, hey-ya, ho-na-na-ye
I surrender to the rhythm, let the old soul pray
I am the roots of thunder, I am the open sky
Spirit running wild through me, I was never meant to hide
Dancing on the mountain with the ancestors tonight
I am the roots of thunder, thunder, thunder rising
Thunder rising, thunder rising
I was never meant to hide
Hey-ya, hey-ya
The medicine lives inside
