Roots Unfolded

From the first little breath,

side by side

Same street, same sun on our young faces Two small hands drawing

maps in the dirt You knew my fears before I could name

them I knew your laugh before I knew words We grew up

like roots in the same ground Season by season,

never falling out

Boy and girl with a whole life in view

I found my home every time I found you School bells,

long nights, and the years ran on Every small change felt easy

with you

From scraped-up knees to impossible heartache You stayed the truth I could

hold on to

Since day one, it's always been you

Always been you
