Lori Lieberman - Roots and Wings (1996) video free download

Fly me a bird whose song I'll sing

For I'll know the honor of its wings

Grow me an oak with shell-like leaves

The strongest of roots will hold me

Oh roots and wings

Oh a heart can sing

Oh you gave to me

Oh roots and wings

There lies the child who's fast asleep

His mother nearby him softly weeps

How can she give him what he needs

The roots of a home and the freedom of wings

Oh a hand to hold

Oh the letting go

Oh the truth, the dreams

Oh roots and wings

Far away, beyond the ocean floor

High above, how a heart can soar

With love and faith

Its power and grace

The strength you take from one's blessed embrace

I lived a life that I believed

So when it is done I will not grieve

For I had an angel at my feet

The roots of your love and your trust in my wings

Oh roots and wings

Oh my heart will sing

Your love was my release

Oh roots and wings

Fly me a bird whose song I'll sing

For I'll know the honor of its wings

Grow me an oak with shell-like leaves

The strongest of roots will hold me

Oh roots and wings

Oh a heart can sing Oh it's everything

Oh roots and wings

Grow me an oak with shell-like leaves

The strongest of roots will hold me
