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
(Choir) 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
My girl he asks promises I just can't make I need to search my wilder side
(Choir) Roots to grow and wings to fly
(Gentleman) 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
(Choir) Roots to grow and wings to fly (Gentleman) That's what your mama gave you (Choir) The world is cold, the world can lie (Gentleman) Nobody else will save you
(Stefanie) My God he asks promises I just can't make I need to search my wilder side
(Choir) Roots to grow and wings to fly
(Stefanie) 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
(Choir) Roots to grow and wings to fly (Gentleman) That's what your mama gave you (Choir) The world is cold, the world can lie (Stefanie) Nobody else will save you
(Stefanie) My God he asks promises I just can't make I need to search my wilder side
