ROOTS AND WINGS
Cho: Roots grow down
Into the ground
Wings, they fly up high!
Roots and wings
Are things we need
T’help kids get by!
Plants grow roots
To reach the water
Way down below
Strong roots help them
Hang on tight
When the cold winds blow!
Chorus
Birds use wings
To leave the nest
When it’s time to fly
It’s scary but
They’ve seen their parents
Sail through the sky!
Chorus & Instrumental Chorus
When grown-ups have
Both roots and wings
We share them with our kids
Let’s get ourselves
In balance then
We’ll all have more to give!
Chorus (2x)
