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 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 I am standing... 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 I am standing...
