there are times i feel so far
from where i want to be
but i know you've been there too

and now you're here with me
my roots' in the ground
head's in the clouds

how i wish i could leave
i'm branching out to heaven
bound to the dirt

but i can see the sun

chorus:


no matter how high
i'm reaching out for what i can't hold

so hard i try
but i'm holding on to what i can't reach


in the summer it's easy to find a reason
to keep on growing strong
but in the autumn when my leaves fall

so do my hopes and i can't find a reason at all
though storms wrestle my faith
i'll bend but i won't break

the clouds make it seem
the light is gone
but i can see the sun

though storms may wrestle my faith
i'll bend but i won't break
the clouds make it seem

that all the light is gone,
but i can see the sun


chorus

though storms may wrestle my faith

i'll bend but i won't break
the clouds make it seem
that all the light is gone,

but i can see the sun

chorus
