Sassafras Lyrics


This is the faith, this is the faith complex
Where all it takes is another step
So we can then step again
It's not all about the numbers
It is not all about the numbersThis is the faith, this is the faith complex
Try not to write another disappointing letter to integrity
Only go faster when you've stopped and thought
Only go slower when you've learned of wisdomEverything is a question of goodwill
But we're too busy delivering answers with arroganceIsn't it funny how ones compassion diminishes
When his or her own perils rise?
Perils rise, perils rise
It's not all about the numbers
It is not all about the numbersWhat should we ask for?
Who should we look to if all we know is burning bridges?
Don't speak to me like I'm a stranger
Turn your thoughts to the roots
As we've all been caught up in the branches
With roots above and branches belowDon't run if you don't know your walk

This is the faith complex
Don't run if you don't know your walk
This is the faith complex
This is a memoir to friends persisting
This is the faith complex

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Anna Lila Downs Sánchez was born in Tlaxiaco, Oaxaca, Mexico in 1968, and grew up there and in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She began singing ranchera music at an early age, and later sang at the fiestas of the towns in her mountain region, la Mixteca. She sang with the band Los Cadetes de Yodoyuxi and later with La Trova Serrana, a group of folk musicians from the Zapotec town of Guelatao, oaxaca. At that time she met her musical collaborator Paul Cohen and began to create her own musical compositions, which tap into native Mesoamerican music of the Mixtec, Zapotec, Maya and Nahuatl cultures.
