Have you heard - have you heard - 
About this girl who was ripped up 
By her roots 
Wanna know - what she learned? 
Like humility - You win when you lose 

I have learned - I have learned 
The most horrifying nights have ends
I was hurt I was lost. 
In the dark I found the way to a friend 

I'm 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...
