"Roots Before Branches" Lyrics

Ah...Oh...oh...

So many things to do and say
I can't seem to find my way
But I wanna know how
I know I'm meant for something else
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 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...oh...oh...

Hey...
Sometimes I don't wanna feel (sometimes I don't wanna feel)
And forget the pain is real (And forget the pain is real)
Put my head in the clouds
Oh, I start to run then I fall (start to run then I fall)
Thinking I can get it all (thinking I can)
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

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...oh...oh...

Whatever comes I know how take it
Learn to be strong I won't have to fake it
Oh, you understanding
Oh, the wind can come and do its best
Blow me north and south, east and west
But I'll still be standing...
I'll be standing

If I have roots before branches
And know who I am (and know who I am)
Before I know who I want to 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 want to be (who I wanna be)
And faith to take chances
To live like I see
A place in this world
For me

Oh... oh...
I gotta have roots before branches
Oh yeah
