I had my dreams and big ideas
But reality was grounding
I appeared to be a dying tree
With others towering around me

They say from on high
What a waste of time
Won't let that lie define me

You can't see what's hiding here beneath the surface
You can't tell how my heart grows till you unearth it
I may not touch the sky
In my soul I am a seeker
Though I fail most times I try
My roots go deeper

My best laid plans all came up short
In that stillness I kept growing
All the cold hard rain
Just gave me strength
It took those days to show me

No matter how slow the process goes
It's the journey that defines me

You can't see what's hiding here beneath the surface
You can't tell how my heart grows till you unearth it
I may not touch the sky
In my soul I am a seeker
Though I fail most times I try,
My roots go deeper, my roots grow deeper

My roots go deeper than these eyes can tell
An endless living water well
Feeds me till I've had my fill
Deeper than these eyes can tell

You can't see what's hiding here beneath the surface
You can't tell how my heart grows till you unearth it
I may not touch the sky
In my soul I am a seeker
Though I fail most times I try,
My roots go deeper
