We planted a tree in the backyard
The day we got our keys
You said it'd never make it
Through the winter's freezing breeze
But we watched it grow together
With a little faith and time
[Pre-
And everything we couldn't see
Was growing underneath
Let the rain come down
Let the cold winds blow
Let the seasons change
Let the whole world turn to snow
We can bend, we can break
We can fall down to our knees
But we'll never come apart
(When the roots run deep)
There were nights we almost gave up
Days we barely made it through
We lost a little along the way
But I never lost you
Now that tree's above the rooftop
And we're still standing here
[Pre-
Funny how the strongest things
Are the ones you never see
Let the rain come down
Let the cold winds blow
Let the seasons change
Let the whole world turn to snow
We can bend, we can break
We can fall down to our knees
But we'll never come apart
(When the roots run deep)
[Bridge – Quiet,
Someday all these leaves will fall
And our colors might fade
But beneath it all
Nothing's gonna change
Let the rain come down
Let the cold winds blow
Let the seasons change
Let the whole world turn to snow
Let the rain come down
Let the cold winds blow
Let the seasons change
Let the whole world turn to snow
We can bend, we can break
We can fall down to our knees
But we'll never come apart
(When the roots run deep)
