I was never the type to think that my life

would turn out the way they it did

Frankly if you asked me when I was 16

I honestly thought I’d be dead

But then one thing lead to another

A girl had to lose her father

And in those moments things become so clear

Just hold on to things that are dear

hold on to there who are dear

Cos it's heavy, nobody said it'd be easy

And even the architect made everything to be too much for just one to hold

And just trust me, even if times get so lonely

No wind can shake you when held by the strength of your roots

There’s so much that you’ve set out to do

You’ve got it, you do

I used to think that in order to grow

You take what you love and you learn to let go

But in time I’ve realised it's not so simple

And I used to think if I went with the flow

That life wouldn’t catch me till I’m grey and old

But in time I’ve realised, that it’s more so theatrical

Cos it's heavy, nobody said it'd be easy

And even the architect made everything to be too much for just one to hold

And just trust me, even if times get so lonely

No wind can shake you when held by the strength of your roots

I know that cos I’ve been in your shoes

You know what to do
