Truth Has Roots

[Verse 1]
You kept the map folded neat in your coat
Took every turn that the old roads wrote
But the hill beyond the orchard stays
And the path is rough with yesterday
[Chorus]
The easy answer keeps you still
A quiet room below the hill
But truth has roots that split the stone
You grow by walking there alone
[Verse 2]
I found your notes in the kitchen drawer
Ink pressed hard through the page before
You wrote, “I’m scared of what I’ll know”
Then left the sentence years ago
[Chorus]
The easy answer keeps you still
A quiet room below the hill
But truth has roots that split the stone
You grow by walking there alone
[Bridge]
Some lessons leave a tender seam
A mark that tells you where you’ve been
Don’t call the hurt a reason to turn
The hand that heals is yours to learn
[Final Chorus]
The easy answer keeps you still
So take the path beyond the hill
Let truth put roots beneath your bones
You grow by walking, not alone
[Outro]
Not alone
Not alone
