Roots Before Branches Lyrics

So many things

To do and say

But I can't seem

To find my way

But I wanna know how

I know

I'm meant

For something else

But first

I gotta find myself

But I don't know how

Oh, why do

I reach for the stars

When I don't have wings

To carry me that far?

I gotta have

Roots before branches

To know who I am

Before I know

Who I wanna be

And faith

To take chances

To live like I see

A place in this world

For me

Sometimes

I don't wanna feel

And forget the pain

Is real

Put my head

In the clouds

Oh, start to run

And then I fall

Thinkin'

I can't get it all

Without my feet

On the ground

There's always a seed

Before there's a rose

The more that it rains

The more I will grow

I gotta have

Roots before branches

To know who I am

Before I know

Who I wanna be

And faith

To take chances

To live like I see

A place in this world

For me

Whatever comes

I know how to take it

Learn to be strong

I won't have to fake it

Oh, you're understandin'

The wind can come

And do it's best

Blow me North and South

East and West

But I'll still

Be standing

I'll be standing

I gotta have

Roots before branches

To know who I am

Before I know

Who I wanna be

And faith

To take chances

To live like I see

A place in this world

I gotta have

Roots before branches

To know who I am

Before I know

Who I wanna be

And faith

To take chances

To live like I see

A place in this world

For me

I gotta have

Roots before branches
