Where the branches reach

Verse 1 I once lived small in the shadows Afraid to bloom too wide Holding back the quiet colors That were waiting deep inside But seasons have a language And they whispered soft and true That every root in darkness Still knows what it must do Chorus Let my life become a garden Where the branches learn to reach Where the quiet seeds of kindness Grow in ways my hands can’t teach If the world can feel the sunlight In the things I choose to do Then the meaning of my journey Is unfolding in its bloom Verse 2 I have bent beneath the weather Felt the storms reshape my ground But even broken soil Holds the strength to rise again somehow And every fall of rain Every tear the earth once knew Becomes the gentle water That pulls the blossoms through Chorus Let my life become a garden Where the branches learn to reach Where the quiet seeds of kindness Grow in ways my hands can’t teach If the world can feel the sunlight In the things I choose to do Then the meaning of my journey Is unfolding in its bloom Bridge Let the winds come if they must Let the seasons shift and turn Every change becomes a teacher Every moment helps me learn And if someone passing by me Feels a little less alone Then the fruit of all my growing Has already found its home Final Chorus Let my life become a garden Where the branches learn to reach Where the quiet seeds of kindness Grow in ways my hands can’t teach If the world can feel the sunlight In the things I choose to do Then the meaning of my journey Is unfolding in its bloom Yes, the meaning of my journey Is the life my roots grew into
