lyrics

we are limbs, roots and branches
fighting the pull of the earth
twisting, gnarling, reaching for the sky
for the sun that gives us life
yet gravity wins in the end
and twigs bend to kiss the water
the earth that bears us brings us down
back to the ground

while wanting what is higher
we remember what is below
roots and leaves both make us grow

caught between the roots and leaves
who I am and who I want to be
spread my limbs and stretch my branches
put down roots and take my chances
