Glee Cast ☆ Roots Before Branches (Glee Cast Version)

[Rachel:]

So many things

To do and say

But I can’t seem

To find my way

But I wanna know how

I know

I’m meant

For something else

But first

I gotta find myself

But I don’t know how

[Rachel with Finn harmonizing:]

Oh, why do

I reach for the stars

When I don’t have wings

To carry me that far?

[Rachel with Finn:]

I gotta have

Roots before branches

To know who I am

Before I know

Who I wanna be

And faith

To take chances

To live like I see

A place in this world

For me

[Rachel (Finn):]

Sometimes

I don’t wanna feel

(Sometimes

I don’t wanna feel)

And forget the pain

Is real

(And forget the pain

Is real)

Put my head

In the clouds

Oh, start to run

And then I fall

(start to run

And then I fall)

Seein’

I can’t get it all

Without my feet

On the ground

(Seein’

I can’t get it all

Without my feet

On the ground)

[Rachel:]

There’s always a seed

Before there’s a rose

The more that it rains

The more I will grow

[Rachel with Finn:]

I gotta have

Roots before branches

To know who I am

Before I know

Who I wanna be

And faith

To take chances

To live like I see

A place in this world

For me

[Rachel:]

Whatever comes

I know how to take it

Learn to be strong

I won’t have to fake it

Oh, you’re understandin’

Oh, but when you come

And do it best

There ain’t nothin’

To stoppin’ east to west

But I’ll still

Be standing

I’ll be standing

[Rachel & Finn with New Directions:]

I gotta have

Roots before branches

To know who I am (To know who I am)

Before I know

Who I wanna be

And faith

To take chances

To live like I see

A place in this world

I gotta have

Roots before branches

To know who I am

Before I know

Who I wanna be

And faith

[New Directions:]

To take chances

To live like I see

A place in this world

For me

[Rachel:]

I gotta have

Roots before branches
