Sara Bareilles - Root Down Lyrics
If I build it out of blood and boneIf I love it and I even give it a good nameAnd I let it stand up on it's ownAnd if I even ever learn to trust and walk awayWill it crumble on it's own two feet?Or will it multiply and grow big, white wings?If I love it and I give it lifeCan I let it go and know that it was never mine?Give more,Give it all awayI'm sure it'll come back somedayYou gotta let go to let it circle back aroundTo rise up you gotta learn to root downLearn to root downIf I cut it with a heart-shaped knifeAnd I send it to my very closest of friendsAnd they somehow bring it back to lifeWhat if I only ever do it all over again?I'm a writer here upon this shipOn a sea of unnamed and untamed passagesAnd every vessel's meant for pouring outAnd every bloom has to make room to root downGive more,Give it all awayI'm sure it'll come back somedayYou gotta let go to let it circle back aroundTo rise up you gotta learn to root downLearn to root downLearn to root downGive more,Give it all awayI'm sure it'll come back somedayYou gotta let go to let it circle back aroundTo rise up you gotta learn to root down
