Roots Before Branches

So many thingsto 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 kni w 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 Sometime I don't wanna feel And forget the pain is real Put my heads 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 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, your understandin' The wind can come and do its best Blow 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 root before branches
