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 your feelings deep down in your bone

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

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
