Roots Before Branches

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
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 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
Sometimes I don't wanna feel
And forget the pain is real
Put my head in the clouds
Oh start to run and then I fall
Seein' I can't get it all
Without my feet on the ground
There's always a sea 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
Whatever comes I know how to take it
Learn to be strong I won't have to fake it
Oh you're understandin'
Oh but when you come and do it best
There ain't nothin' stoppin' east to 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
And live like I see
A place in this world for me
I 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
I gotta have roots before branches
Ohh yeahh
