Suzanne Vega - Unbound lyrics

I knew a plant Whose roots were bound And returned Into the ground Every day I watched it grow Every day It struggled so Roots were bound roots were bound Roots were bound into the ground Watched it grow watched it grow Watched it as it struggled so 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 It's simple need Cut the twine cut the twine Cut the twine and made it mine Watched it feed watched it feed Watched it feed the simple need Unbound roots unbound Unbound into the ground Unbound roots unbound Unbound into the ground I was once Bound at the root Confined with twine Both mind and foot I cut it loose And now am free As anything Alive can be At the root bound at the root Confined both mind and foot Am free now am free As anything alive can be Unbound roots unbound Unbound into the ground Unbound roots unbound Unbound into the ground
