Give Him Roots

Lyrics

So many voices in his ear Are they playing on his fears It's a bad situation all the way around But with a solid foundation He's gonna stand his ground Take a little time and plant the seeds Give him reasons to believe Give him roots, and give him wings, yeah And he'll grow up to do great things Let him know the joy that he brings, yeah Teach him the value of the truth Oh, you gotta give him roots, give him wings When he comes to you And he needs your help And he's so unsure of himself Give him vision so he can see the Light Let him know the difference Between wrong and right Share the wisdom of your peers There'll be laughter, there'll be tears Give him roots, and give him wings, yeah And he'll grow up I know, I know he's gonna do great things Let him know the joy that he brings Teach him the value of the truth Oh, you gotta give him roots, give him wings He should aim high as the sky Well, there ain't nothing he can't do If he'll only try Oh, take a little time and plant the seeds Give him reasons to believe Give him roots, and give him wings, yeah And he'll grow up I know, I know he's gonna do great things Let him know the joy that he brings, oh... Teach him the value of the truth Oh, you gotta give him roots Give him roots, and give him wings And he'll grow up to do great things, yeah Let him know the joy that he brings Teach him the value of the truth Tell him there's nothing he can't do...
