[Verse 1]
I knew a plant whose roots were bound
And then returned into the ground
Every day I watched it grow
Every day it struggled so

[Chorus]
Roots were bound, the roots were bound
The roots were bound into the ground
Watched it grow, watched it grow
Watched it as it struggled so

[Verse 2]
I dug it up, I cut the twine
And so like this I made it mine
I watched it drink and watched it feed
And grow beyond its simple need

[Chorus]
Cut the twine, I cut the twine
Cut the twine and made it mine
Watched it feed, watched it feed
Watched it feed the simple need

[Post-Chorus]
Unbound roots unbound
Unbound into the ground
Unbound roots unbound
Unbound into the ground
[Verse 3]
I was once tied at the root
Confined with twine, both mind and foot
I cut it loose and now am free
As anything alive can be

[Chorus]
At the root, bound at the root
At the root, both mind and foot
Am free, now am free
As anything alive can be

[Post-Chorus]
Unbound roots unbound
Unbound into the ground
Unbound roots unbound
Unbound into the ground
Unbound roots unbound
Unbound into the ground
Unbound roots unbound
Unbound into the ground
