Lyrics: Dream Factory

Arranger: Dream Factory
I planted roots in shallow ground for years
Hopingsomeoneelse's rain would reach my leaves
But I forgot that I could find my own water
Could pull my own strength from the ground beneath
And I used to wrapmyselfaroundanother's stem
'CauseIdidn't know I had the light within
Idon't need you to be my vine
Idon't need you to lift my head
I've been stretching toward my own sun for a long time
AndnowI'm standing on my own instead
ThebranchesI've been leaning on for so long
Were never meant to carry all of me
I've been learning how to bend without breaking
How to grow intotheshapeI'm meant to be
Let me be the one who climbs alone
Let me find my own way to the stone
A garden built from my own hand and bone
Is the only kindofhomeI've ever truly known
I'm my own vine, my own root, my own sky...
AndI'll grow where I stand, not where I cry...
