lyrics

Love is a gift to be given.
 Love is a gift to receive.  
Love cannot be earned or exchanged;
Cause love is no fleeting commodity.   

See, I believe love blooms when love grows,
When she changes her shape and taste.
 Sure, love has been known to wilt and dry out,
But love has been known to sprout again.

The secret is in the roots
Where your heart’s been
Beating a record of the truth.
Oh yes! The secret is in the roots
Where that big ol' heart of your's has been
Beating a record of the truth.

 That’s exactly what I’m trying to see
About my heart and about me.   

Do you love yourself?  
Can you sit alone with your
 dark and painful thoughts
And find the courage to
Be gentle with yourself.

See, only then can you honestly give love,
Only then can you honestly receive,
Free from the fear of coercion;
Free from shame of deprivity.   

The good news is love blooms when love grows,
When she changes her shape and taste. Oh yeah!
 Love has been known to wilt and dry out,
But love has been known to sprout again.

  The secret is in the roots
Where your heart’s been
Beating a record of the truth.   
Oh yes! The secret is in the roots
Where that big ol' heart of your's has been
Beating a record of the truth.
Oh yes! The secret is in this roots
Where that mushy heart of your's has been
Beating a record of the truth.

I lean towards the truth! And I’m begging you to
Hold on to the truth like all we've got!
Let’s move towards the truth!

about

Hannah Rose Dexter Los Angeles, California

With her defiantly fuzzy, pink bass by her side, Hannah Rose Dexter has traveled the world performing jazz and blues. On her debut album, "The View From Normal", her unique style of bass playing frees the instrument from the traditional role of glorified kick drum, and into the harmonic lead it’s always been capable of. ... more
