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
