Roots And Wings Songtext
von Nine Below Zero

You gave me roots
You gave me wings
You taught me to fly
And you taught me to sing
You built me up
You showed me the way
To walk out in the world
And to know what to say
It might have been hard
From the outside
But you know I′ll be just fine
And I know you'll help me
Cross that finish line
You gave me roots
You gave me wings
You said I could cry
When the heartache begins
You gave me strength
You told me the truth
You gave me hope


When I′d resigned to lose
Memories of a sweet life
You let me be
Just what I wanted to be
I don't need no weatherman
To tell me it's raining
There ain′t no flies on me
No cross to bear
No chains will I wear
You gave me everything to set me free
You gave me roots
You gave me wings
You taught me to fly
You taught me to sing
It must have seemed hard
From the outside
But you know I′ll be just fine
And I know you'll help me
Cross that finish line
Yeah, I know you′ll help me
Cross that finish line
Yeah, you'll help me
Cross that finish line
Yeah, you′ll help me
To cross that line
