Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I used to hate the dirt beneath me
Every grave beneath my feet
Every night I thought had buried
Everything I tried to keep
I used to think the dark was failure
That the fall had made me weak
Now I know the ground that held me
Was the ground that made me deep
[Pre-Chorus]
Every fire
Every fall
Every ghost
Every wall
Wasn’t the end
Of who I was
It was the root
Of who I’d become
[Chorus]
The deeper the roots
The higher I rise
The darker the earth
The wider the sky
Every scar below me
Built the strength I couldn’t see
The deeper the roots
The more of me
Could reach the light
[Verse 2]
I stopped asking for another life
Stopped wishing I could trade the past
Some things were never meant to stay
Some things were only meant to last
Long enough
To teach me
Long enough
To leave a mark
Long enough
To show me
Even roots can grow in dark
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need
To lose the pain
I don’t need
To curse the rain
I only need
To understand
What it built
Inside this man
[Chorus]
The deeper the roots
The higher I rise
The darker the earth
The wider the sky
Every scar below me
Built the strength I couldn’t see
The deeper the roots
The more of me
Could reach the light
[Bridge – stripped down]
I remember the fire
I remember the fall
I remember the silence
I remember it all
The ghosts
The grave
The rain
The crown
Every road
That brought me down
Brought me here
[Build]
I was not buried
I was planted
I was not broken
I was changed
I was not lost
I was becoming
And the dark
Still knows my name
[Final Chorus – massive]
The deeper the roots
The higher I rise
I’ve seen the hell
Beneath my life
And I don’t fear it anymore
I know exactly what it means
Every branch above me
Started somewhere underneath
The deeper the roots
The stronger the tree
The more of hell I carried
The more of heaven
I could reach
[Outro – very quiet]
I spent my whole life
Reaching for heaven
Just to learn
I was built in hell
And if you see me
Touch the sky
Know this
The higher the branches
The deeper the roots.
