So many things 
To do and say
But 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
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 [bad word] 
And then I fall
Seein' 
I can't 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
place in this world 
For me

 [bad word] 
I know how to take it
Learn to be strong 
I won't have to fake it
Oh, you're understandin'
Oh, but when [bad word] 
And do it best
There ain't nothin' 
To stoppin' east to west 
(I'm not sure 
if this is right)
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
To live like I see
place in this world

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
place in this world 
For me

I gotta have 
Roots before branches
