Cette chanson évoque l’importance de nos racines et de notre identité, en soulignant que même dans les moments difficiles, il est essentiel de rester connecté à ce qui nous ancre. Les paroles illustrent la diversité des gens autour de nous, certains cachant leur véritable nature sous une apparence trompeuse. À travers cette métaphore de la nature, l’artiste rappelle que malgré les luttes et les inégalités, notre lien avec le divin et notre solidarité sont notre force. C’est un message d’espoir et de résilience, affirmant que l’amour de Dieu reste notre refuge.
