Roots to grow and wings to fly
The world is cold, the world can lie
Every child has its own piece of sky
A place you hold till the day that you die
I wanna be heart, I wanna be soul
I wanna be free to do the best I can
And that’ll keep me satisfied
Roots to grow and wings to fly
That’s what your mama gave you
The world is cold, the world can lie
Nobody else will save you
My God he asks promises I just can’t make
I need to search my wilder side
Roots to grow and wings to fly
Lord have mercy
Yeah, I know that sky’s the limit
You know why?
Anyways
You bless with every tingle
When you wanna be Actual virtual reality
You know if I’m missin' you
You are in charge of your memory
Certain things take time to see
Yes you got to have a mind of your own
Responding to you
Life is so lucious
Soul is so precious
Now spread your wings and fly
Roots to grow and wings to fly
That’s what your mama gave you
The world is cold, the world can lie
Nobody else will save you
My God he asks promises I just can’t make
I need to search my wilder side
Roots to grow and wings to fly
Somewhere I hear my name
Far off in the haze
But now I don’t feel the same
Need somewhere else, somewhere else to play
