lyrics

I wanna be true to me
I wanna grow tall like a tree
I wanna be true to me
I wanna grow strong roots like a tree

I wanna be, wanna be
True to me, true to me
I wanna be, true to me
Like a tree with the roots in the ground
I have found that's the best way to be
With my two feet planted right below me
Nurtured and constantly growing

I wanna be (x2)
True to me (x2)
I wanna grow(x2)
Roots like trees
Strong as trees

I wanna be true to me
I wanna learn how to stand on my own two feet
Even if I fall, I know I’ll fall free
That’s all I’ll ever want, that’s all I’ll ever be

True to me true to you, too
True to the world, let’s start anew
I’ve searched far and wide, I’ve searched high and low
Now I’m ready to fly, so please let me goooooooo

I wanna be(x2)
true to me (x2)
I wanna grow (x2)
Tall as a sequoia tree
Strong as a redwood tree
Tall as the Andes that I came from
Strong and free

I wanna be (x2)
True to me (x2)
I wanna grow(x2)
Roots like trees
Strong as trees

I wanna be true to meeeee
I wanna grow roots
deep like them trees
I wanna be a tree
That is my dream.

But there is a beauty in having two feet
And having roots that follow heartbeats

But there is a beauty in having two feet
And having roots that follow heartbeats
