Roots lyrics by Idina Menzel, Kate Diaz, Michael Park, Khaila Wilcoxon, Tina Landau
FINN, spoken
The roots of this redwood tree are extremely shallow, but imagine: they’re spreading out. They’re going in every direction, and they keep on going for a hundred feet or so. And when they come to the roots of another tree, they intertwine with that, they lock together. And now, not one tree, but hundreds of trees – or thousands – are linked together. And under our feet lies a vast system of interconnected roots. And that is how the redwood’s ablе to stand tall: it’s being held up, and supported, by othеrs
sung Hear their secrets in their silence;
The ancient wisdom of the giants
The tree’s most important lesson
Is that like the roots, we need
Connection…
FINN and BECCA
Connection…
FINN, BECCA, JESSE
Connection…
