SATB / SA / TB with Piano

4’00”

than i ever knew

I am the root, I am the tree
I grow to be a part of everything
Then storms roll in blow wild and free,
and try to tear my limbs from me.

I breathe the air and let it be.
No storm can shake the roots of trees.
Sometimes in life, you’ll never know,
Just how a seed can learn to grow.

I never thought I’d grow to be,
A force of nature, strong and deep.
I’m rooted in the earth like you,
More beautiful than I ever knew.
