Roots and Wings

Ooh, ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh,

ooh. Started as a seed in a sidewalk crack. Dancing in the

wind but afraid to look back. Every rainy day felt like a cruel joke.

Laughing as I choked on the tears I spoke. Oh, the world's a

garden, wild and wild. Some days you're the bloom, some days you're

the vine. But even roses got their thorns to show. That's how you

learn and that's how you grow. Give me roots to hold me

tight. Give me wings to touch the light. Life's a ladder
