1
Give us children roots and wings
2
Never fear the change it brings
3
There is no reason to be sad
4
Be thankful for the time you've had
5
When I was a younger guy
6
One autumn night I told a lie
7
My dad just shook his head and sighed
8
Said "˜one day you'll know what it's like'
9
To give your children roots and wings, oh, oh
10
And not to fear the change it brings, oh, oh
11
To tell the truth and be a man
12
To always do the best you can
13
Mother, she done set me free
14
From all the locks that once held me
15
She whispered in my infant ears
16
That I was wise beyond my years
17
So even on my darkest nights
18
I've felt the ground and I've seen the heights
19
And one day may you do the same
20
Oh, child of mine that bears my name
21
I give to you my roots and wings, oh, oh
22
With these you can do anything, oh, oh
23
And you will never be alone
24
Carry or be carried home
25
Oh, oh
26
You'll be carried home (x2)
27
You will always be here with me
28
The way you feel your roots and wings, oh
29
And never fear the change it brings, oh
30
So give those children roots and wings, oh, oh
31
And never fear the change it brings, oh, oh
32
There is no reason to be sad
33
Be thankful for the time you had
34
And give those children roots and wings, oh
35
Oh, and I give you mine
36
Roots and wings (x8)
