Roots Before Branches

So many things to do or 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've 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 woah, hey
Sometimes I don't wanna feel
And forget the pain is real
Got my head in the clouds
Oh, 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
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
Learned to be strong, I won't have to fake it
Woah, 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 to take chances
To 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, oh woah
I gotta have roots before branches, oh yeah
