Glee Cast - Roots Before Branches lyrics

Hey, hey
So many things to do and say
But I can't seem to find the 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
Ohh, hey

Sometimes I don't wanna feel
(Sometimes I don't wanna feel)
And forget the pain is real
(And forget the pain is real)
Put my head in the clouds (Ohh, ooh)
Oh, I start to run and then I fall
(Start to run and then I fall)
Thinking I can't get it all
(Thinking I can't get it all)
Without my feet on the ground (Ohh, ooh)

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
Ohh, ohh

Whatever comes, I know how to take it
Learn to be strong, I won't have to fake it
Oh, you're understandin'
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 (To know who I am)
Before I know who I'm gonna be
And faith, ooh, to take chances
To live like I see
A 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
And live like I see
A place in this world for me

I gotta have
Roots before branches
