Roots and Wings
What can we give to the children
To let them grow, to let them know we care?
Give them love. Give them time
Give them mountains they can climb
And when they stumble just let them know we're there
And give the children roots and wings
Roots to grow and to know where they have come from
Wings to fly way up high every time the spirit sings
Give the children, give the children roots and wings
You know it takes a lot of thought to do
The things we know we ought to do
To reach them, to teach them
To practice what we preach to them
To show them the love we feel
Is more than what we have to give
It's what we have to live
What can we give to the chidren?
To help them grow, to help to show the way
Show them strength, show them love
Show them guidance from above
And when you stumble remember this, I pray
And give the children roots and wings
Roots to grow and to know where they have come from
Wings to fly way up high every time the spirit sings
Give the children, give the children roots and wings
And give the children roots and wings
Roots to grow and to know where they have come from
Wings to fly way up high every time the spirit sings
Give the children, give the children roots and wings
Roots to grow
And wings to fly
Fly high!
Fly high!
To let them grow, to let them know we care?
Give them love. Give them time
Give them mountains they can climb
And when they stumble just let them know we're there
And give the children roots and wings
Roots to grow and to know where they have come from
Wings to fly way up high every time the spirit sings
Give the children, give the children roots and wings
You know it takes a lot of thought to do
The things we know we ought to do
To reach them, to teach them
To practice what we preach to them
To show them the love we feel
Is more than what we have to give
It's what we have to live
What can we give to the chidren?
To help them grow, to help to show the way
Show them strength, show them love
Show them guidance from above
And when you stumble remember this, I pray
And give the children roots and wings
Roots to grow and to know where they have come from
Wings to fly way up high every time the spirit sings
Give the children, give the children roots and wings
And give the children roots and wings
Roots to grow and to know where they have come from
Wings to fly way up high every time the spirit sings
Give the children, give the children roots and wings
Roots to grow
And wings to fly
Fly high!
Fly high!
