lyrics

The roots go deeper than you think
Underfoot looking for a drink
For years they grow
And most of us will never know
How far the roots go.

The branches spread into the sky
You see them proudly fly
They hold the leaves
But most of us would not believe
How far the roots go.

I've seen trees felled by gales
A few were wrenched from the earth
But most were split through or torn in two
As if the storm did not know
How far the roots go.

We stretch ourselves as we grow
Above as well as below
Even in our youth
There's a glimpse of the truth:
How far the roots go.
