Trunks to Roots

[Verse 1]
Calloused hands in the garden
Dirt caught deep in the lines
Every scar’s just a story
From when you tangled with time
You’ve been chasing the skyline
Forgetting where you began
But there’s strength in the soil here
Come and press down your hands
[Chorus]
From trunks to roots
You’re still the same old tree
Stay grounded
Let the wind run through your leaves
You can bend
Long before you ever break
Turn over a new leaf
Yeah
That’s all it ever takes
[Verse 2]
You compare every branch now
To some picture in your head
But those crooked little angles
Hold the sunlight the best
There’s a quiet kind of glory
In each ring that you’ve grown
You’re a wild
Living story
Not a copy
Not a clone
[Chorus]
From trunks to roots
You’re still the same old tree
Stay grounded
Let the wind run through your leaves
You can bend
Long before you ever break
Turn over a new leaf
Yeah
That’s all it ever takes
[Bridge]
Keep growing
Keep going (oh)
Don’t rush the rain
Every season that you’re weathering
Writes your name
Enjoy your strange
Gentle beauty
Every knot
Every curve
Every bruise
You’re a forest all by yourself now
You’re enough in the way that you bloom
[Chorus]
From trunks to roots
You’re still the same old tree
Stay grounded
Let the wind run through your leaves
You can bend
Long before you ever break
Turn over a new leaf
Yeah
That’s all it ever takes
[Outro]
From trunks to roots
Just keep growing
Growing
From trunks to roots
You’re already glowing (oh)

rock, Indie/alt-rock band feel with male vocals, spacious ambient guitars and a steady mid-tempo groove. Verses stay intimate and low, bass pulsing under chiming delay guitars; choruses open with wider distorted layers, tom-heavy drums, and stacked oohs. Bridge strips to vocal, reverb-drenched lead guitar answering phrases, then final chorus blooms with crashy cymbals and a held, anthemic outro., alternative rock, indie rock, ambient, natural
