Root

Everyone wants to see the beautiful leaves 
And seek to take flowers to their nostril 
But here I am lying  alone in the dark and deep 
Though they know without me there will be no fruit ;

They are found to talk about the events 
They are found, too, to feel the effects 
But no one is ready to pull the lid or the carpet 
But I am here under the cover in the dark and deep 
Though they know without me they will not taste the fruit ;

Fever is not a disease but the manifestation 
That something inside in you has gone wrong 
Behind everything right or wrong I am the cause 
Find me out first before you go to be happy or sad 
I am here the root that causes to bear a tree flowers or fruit .
