Give Him Roots

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…
