Roots Before Branches (Glee Cast Version)

So many things to do and say

But I can't seem to find a 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've 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

'Cause sometimes I don't wanna feel (Sometimes I don't wanna feel)

And forget the pain is real (And forget the pain is real)

With my head in the clouds

Oh, I start to run and then I fall (Start to run and then I fall)

Thinking, I can get it all (Thinking, I can 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

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 understand it

The wind can come and do it's best

Roaming North and South, East and West

But I'll still be standing here

I'll stand in if I have roots before branches

To know who I am before I know who I'm gonna be

And faith, oh to take chances

To live like I see a place in this world

Gotta have roots before branches

To know who I am before I know who I wanna be (Who I wanna be)

And faith to take chances

And live like I see a place in this world for me

I gotta have roots before branches

Oh-oh, yeah
