"Rooted Feet" delves into the complexities of growing as an individual through the metaphor of a tree. The term 'rooted feet' refers to the roots of a tree that supply nutrients and physical support. In parallel, our parents, community, and culture serve as foundations for who we are and how we think. But there is a limitation to our personal perspectives; in the same way a tree is tethered to the ground, unable to move, we are often limited by the scope of our subjective understanding. It is only through growth upwards, the 'leaves' of learning, do we find ways to move forward. Chase Morrin, piano, Womni Jung, vocals. Composed by Chase Morrin and Wonmi Jung. Lyrics by Wonmi Jung.
