Ashé o re, ashé o re
Ashé o re, ashé o re
Zipping up my boots
Going back to my roots, yeah
To the place of my birth
Back down to earth
I'm standing in the rain
Drenched and soaked with pain
Tired of short time benefits
And being exposed to the elements
I'm homeward bound
Got my head turned around
Ooh, ah
Zipping up my boots
Going back to my roots, yeah
To the place of my birth
Back down to earth
Ain't talking 'bout no roots in the land
Talking 'bout the roots in the man
I feel my spirit's getting old
It's time to recharge my soul
I'm zipping up my boots
Going back to my roots, yeah
To the place of my birth
Back down to earth
I'm homeward bound
Got my head turned around
Paua oouaarantì
Irà chiyeah
Ishé talé a ba oo ah
Paua oouaarantì
Irà chiyeah
Ishé talé a ba oo ah
Ooh, ah
Zipping up my boots
Going back to my roots, yeah
To the place of my birth
Back down to earth
I'm homeward bound
Got my head turned around
Zipping up my boots
Going back to my roots, yeah
To the place of my birth
Back down to earth
