LYRICS:
Turn of the century,
other side of the world.
A family without,
and uncertainty swirling.
Left his home,
said goodbye on a boat at fourteen.
Those that he left,
would no longer be seen.
Crossing the water,
alone on the sea,
without a language,
without safe passage,
searching for work,
a child amongst the masses, alone.
A child and a man at fourteen.
He cut hair in Texas,
found love with a Mexican woman,
a new world,
a new family.
Always in danger,
the Klan saw a stranger,
they burned down his shop,
and they forced him to flee.
A new world,
a witness,
a death on the water,
she packed and they sailed
through Panama always in danger.
Always in danger.
Toward golden gates,
but always in danger.
A hundred year storm,
nearly ended it all.
The captain held on,
and landed ashore.
She told him...there’d be no more boats.
She told him...there’d be no more running.
She put down her bag,
and planted her roots, yeah.
A new world,
a witness,
a Mexican princess,
a death on the water,
a child at sea.
Firebomb fascists,
left in the ashes,
a dangerous river,
a family to be.
When her feet hit the sand,
she planted her roots,
she planted her roots, yeah.
Yeah when her feet hit the sand,
she planted her roots,
she landed…
In San Diego…
She planted her roots, whoa.
Always in danger...
Yeah she planted her roots, whoa.
Alone on the water...
She planted her roots, whoa.
Always in danger...
She planted her roots, whoa.
In San Diego.
