Lyrics:

I'm the sum total of my ancestors; I carry their DNA
We are representatives of a long line of people
And we cart them around everywhere
This long line of people that goes back to the beginning of time
And when we meet, they meet, other lines of people
And we say, bring together the lines of me

When I look back over the years
At the things that brought tears to my eyes
Papa said: "We have to be wise to live long lives"
Now I recognize what my father said before he dies
Vocalize things I've left unsaid

Left my spirit unfed for too long
I'm coming home to my family where I can be strong
Be who I planned to be
Within me, my ancestry
Givin' me continuity

This is what my daddy told me
I wished he would hold me
A little more than he did

But he taught me my culture
And how to live positive
I never wanna shame

The blood in my veins and bring pain
To my sweet grandfather's face
In his resting place

I make haste to learn and not waste
Everything my forefathers earned in tears
For my culture

Fall back again
Crawl from the warm water (For my culture)
Water to air
You're on your feet again, your feet again

Hello, dad, remember me?
I'm the man you thought I'd never be
I'm the boy who you reduced to tears
Dad, I'd been lonely for 27 years

Yeah, that's right, my name's Rob
I'm the one who landed the pop stars job
I'm the one who you told: "Look, don't touch"
And the kid who wouldn't amount too much

I believe in the senses out of sound
I have always been too loud
Won't you help me drown it out?

I'm what I feel
And what I'm feeling is surreal
I'm a massive spinnin' wheel
Always digging in my heels
Now I got the faith

Fall back again
Crawl from the warm water
Water to air
You're on your feet again, your feet again

This is what my daddy told me
I wished he would hold me
A little more than he did

But he taught me my culture
And how to live positive
I never wanna shame

The blood in my veins and bring pain
To my sweet grandfather's face
In his resting place

I make haste to learn and not waste
Everything my forefathers earned in tears
For my culture

Fall back again
Crawl from the warm water
Water to air
You're on your feet again, your feet again (For my culture)

Fall back again
Crawl from the warm water
Water to air
You're on your feet again, your feet again (For my culture)
