Sapling

[Verse] Started out a sapling in the concrete jungle, Dreams huge, reality a daily struggle, Mother waters roots, keeps me humble, But the streets whisper dark, ready to rumble. [Chorus] Sapling in the storm, searching for the light, Growing through the pain, reaching towards the night, Leaves fall down, but the future in sight, Survivin' through the tears, holdin’ on tight. [Verse 2] Father left early, said he’d find his way back, Mom’s eyes cry rivers, heavy heart, pitch black, Friends in the shadows, some fade, others crack, But I dig deep, out the rubble I stack. [Bridge] Branches twisted, twisted but never break, Every scar a story for the heartache, Sun will rise after the darkest quake, Through the roots, power I intake. [Chorus] Sapling in the storm, searching for the light, Growing through the pain, reaching towards the night, Leaves fall down, but the future in sight, Survivin' through the tears, holdin’ on tight. [Verse 3] Seasons keep changing, but my will stays strong, Wind howls, but I hum my own song, Lonely nights linger, feeling all wrong, But each dawn, my spirit tags along.
