Roots Before Branches
So many thingsTo do and sayBut I can't seemTo find my wayBut I wanna know howI knowI'm meantFor something elseBut firstI gotta find myselfBut I don't know how
Oh, why doI reach for the starsWhen I don't have wingsTo carry me that far?
I gotta haveRoots before branchesTo know who I amBefore I knowWho I wanna beAnd faithTo take chancesTo live like I seeA place in this worldFor me
SometimesI don't wanna feelAnd forget the painIs realPut my headIn the cloudsOh, start to runAnd then I fallSeein'I can't get it allWithout my feetOn the ground
There's always a seedBefore there's a roseThe more that it rainsThe more I will grow
I gotta haveRoots before branchesTo know who I amBefore I knowWho I wanna beAnd faithTo take chancesTo live like I seeA place in this worldFor me
Whatever comesI know how to take itLearn to be strongI won't have to fake itOh, you're understandin'Oh, but when you comeAnd do it bestThere ain't nothin'To stoppin' east to west(I'm not sureIf this is right)But I'll stillBe standingI'll be standing
I gotta haveRoots before branchesTo know who I amBefore I knowWho I wanna beAnd faithTo take chancesTo live like I seeA place in this world
I gotta haveRoots before branchesTo know who I amBefore I knowWho I wanna beAnd faithTo take chancesTo live like I seeA place in this worldFor me
I gotta haveRoots before branches
