Roots Of Me

I was a sapling, planted deep Afraid to stretch, afraid to seep Outside the lines, beyond the shade Where sunbeams dance, and winds are made But something stirred, a spark took hold A longing to explore, to unfold Now I'm branching out, into the unknown Finding my path, making my own Roots of me, they still remain But I'm breaking free, I'm breaking away Seasons passed, and I grew strong My roots ran deep, my limbs moved long I weathered storms, I faced my fears And found my voice, through all the tears But something stirred, a spark took hold A longing to explore, to unfold Now I'm branching out, into the unknown Finding my path, making my own Roots of me, they still remain But I'm breaking free, I'm breaking away In the silence, I hear my soul Whispers of wisdom, making me whole Embracing the journey, with heart and mind And finding my strength, in the depths I've left behind Now I'm branching out, into the unknown Finding my path, making my own Roots of me, they still remain But I'm breaking free, I'm breaking away Now leaves rustle, and stories unfold Of trials faced, of wisdom told I'll keep on reaching, I'll keep on sowing Roots of me, forever growing
