Room For Two – Roots Before Branches (HQ)

Posted on June 5, 2012 by Duane

So after listening to this great song – I feel like I am still working on my roots. . . . I think I might ALWAYS be working on my roots – but I know I have had, and will have more moments when I can enjoy my branches. . . .  

I bolded and italicized the lyrics below that I really like!  Read along with the lyrics below if you are a visual learner like me. . . .   Have a great week.

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
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
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
Learn to be strong 
I won’t have to fake it
Are you’re understanding?
The wind can come 
Blow me North and South
East and West
But I’ll still 
Be standing 
I’ll be standing


If I 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

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

I’ve gotta have 
Roots before branches
