[Intro] Some roots grow beneath the earth… Some roots reach toward the stars… And sometimes… The strongest things in life… Are the things nobody sees. [Verse 1] I smile in the mirror but my eyes don’t lie There’s a whole world hidden behind my eyes No blood on the floor No smoke in the air Just a silent battle that nobody sees there Every morning I wake up and carry the weight Of the roads I have traveled The choices I made The person I was The person I became The pieces I lost The pieces I reclaimed I’ve carried my storms I’ve carried my scars Searching for answers Among the stars They told me my roots had to stay in the ground That strength only grows where the earth holds you down But something inside me kept reaching high… Looking for truth beyond the sky. [Pre-Chorus] No cannons… No trumpets… No battle cry… Just a quiet war… And a reason to rise. [Chorus] Roots in the sky… Reaching for the light Growing through the darkness Learning how to fight Every scar I carry Every truth I find Is another piece of healing… Growing inside my mind Roots in the sky… I’m learning how to fly Sometimes the strongest foundations… Are the ones hidden from our eyes Ohhh… Listen to the wind… Every soul has a story. [Verse 2] I fight the voices saying I’m not enough The ghosts of yesterday calling my bluff I battle the fear That I’ll always be lost Counting every failure Measuring every cost Some days I win Some days I fall Some days I don’t answer That old familiar call But when the night comes And the world gets still I find a little strength… A little more will Because even the branches That break in the storm Can grow back stronger… Can become something more. [Pre-Chorus 2] Maybe the cracks are where the light gets through Maybe the scars reveal what’s always been true Maybe the journey was never about being the same… Maybe the difference was always the flame. [Bridge] Maybe we were never broken… Maybe we were learning to grow Maybe the roots that looked upside down… Were reaching places we don’t know The tree doesn’t question the heavens The river doesn’t question the sea Maybe the path that feels different… Is the path that sets us free So let the world keep judging… Let them wonder why Some hearts were never meant to settle… Some roots were born to fly. [Final Chorus] Roots in the sky… Reaching past the night Holding onto dreams That were born inside the light Roots in the sky… Standing through the storm Finding out the place we belong… Was never what the world told us before Let them say we grow backwards Let them say we don’t know why Some roots were never meant for the ground… Some roots were born… To touch the sky. [Outro] The quiet war fades… The stars remain… And the roots keep reaching… Again… And again… And again.
