Roots Before Branches Lyrics

so many things to do and say
but I can’t seem to find a way
but I want to 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?

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
oh, hey

cuz sometimes I don’t wanna feel
and forget the pain is real
put my head in the clouds
I start to run and then I fall
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
well, you’re understanding
oh
the wind can come and do it’s best
blow me north and south,
east and west
but I’ll still be standing

I’m standing
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
and faith
to take chances
and live like I see
a place in this world
for me

oh
I gotta have roots
before branches
oh, yea
