There's so many things to do and say
i can't seem to find my way
but wanna know how
i know I'm meant for something else
but first i gotta know myself
but i don't know how
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

sometimes i don't wanna feel
and forget the pain is real
put my head in the clouds
start to run then i fall
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

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'
To stoppin' east to west
But I'll still
Be standing
I'll be standing
if i have roots before branches
and know who i am
before i know who i want to be
and faith to take chances
to live like i see a place in this worldddd
for me

have roots before branches
and know who i am
before i know who i want to be
and faith to take chances
to live like i see a place in this worldddd
for me

only oh oh
i tried to have roots before branches
oh yeahhh
