The Webster University Women's Chorus performing "Truth" by Andrea Ramsey Dr. Stuart Chapman Hill, conductor Performance Date: Fall 2017 Publisher Information: Truth Andrea Ramsey MusicSpoke
I sang this song for state choir almost 2 years ago and it still sticks with me. I had the privilege to be led by Andrea Ramsey herself when performing this song and really got to experience the whole piece.
My roots are earth Muddy river and honeysuckle My roots are earth Muddy river and honeysuckle My roots are earth Muddy river and honeysuckle Sturdy and rigid Like farmhouse planks I shared a sisterhood With the amber grasses My dreams climbed endlessly Like the kudzu in July (Like the kudzu in July) I shared a sisterhood With the amber grasses My dreams climbed endlessly No fear in sight In nature In naive youth All the forest was possible (All the forest was possible) All the pasture was my own (All the pasture was my own) My mother told me I was beautiful And I believed her then Why shouldn't I? There is no doubt in a pond Insecurity does not grow in a meadow It will not sprout beneath the southern pines It is planted by the boys on the school bus Tended by the words of small minds And words may wound you But are they true? You are beautiful You are enough You must believe in that Believe the truth My roots are earth Muddy river and honeysuckle My roots are beautiful My roots are strong
1:06 if you listen closely you can hear someone start to sing No Fear In Sight on accident if that aint a mood my choir did it a lot(even in concert lol)
