Have
you heard, have you heard
About this girl who was ripped up by her roots Have you heard, what she learned? Like humility you win when you lose I have learned, I have learned The most horrifying nights have an end I was hurt, I was lost In the dark I found a way to a friend Chorus: I am standing here in my ravine Once again I see a piece of the sky And my joy'll never be denied 'Cause I was meant to be here The only place on earth Where you are near Where you are near Was a flower so frail And I let the trees grow wild around me Grew so high, hid the sky Shaded everything I needed to see Then one night someone came Took a knife an ripped me up by my roots Tossed astray far away In my darkest night I started to pray Chorus Why do you, why do you ask Why I'm not blaming my god? I'll tell you, I'll tell you what He was the only one there Chorus |
