Roots And Wings (根与翅膀) - Stephen Kellogg & The Sixers

Give us children roots and wings

Never fear the change it brings

There is no reason to be sad

Be thankful for the time you've had

When I was a younger guy

One autumn night I told a lie

My dad just shook his head and sighed

Said 'one day you'll know what it's like'

To give your children roots and wings

Oh oh

And not to fear the change it brings

Oh oh

To tell the truth and be a man

To always do the best you can

Mother she done set me free

From all the locks that once held me

She whispered in my infant ears

That I was wise beyond my years

So even on my darkest nights

I've felt the ground and I've seen the heights

And one day may you do the same

Oh child of mine that bears my name

I give to you my roots and wings

Oh oh

With these you can do anything

Oh oh

And you will never be alone

Carry or be carried home

Oh oh

You'll be carried home

You'll be carried home

You will always be here with me

The way you feel your roots and wings

Oh

And never fear the change it brings

Oh

So give those children roots and wings

Oh oh

And never fear the change it brings

Oh oh

There is no reason to be sad

Be thankful for the time you had

And give those children roots and wings

Oh

Oh and I give you mine

Roots and wings

Roots and wings

Roots and wings

Roots and wings

Roots and wings

Roots and wings

Roots and wings

Roots and wings
