[Verse]
Once I was a seed in the dirt so small
Dreams were whispers I couldn't recall
The sun would rise
The rain would fall

[Prechorus]
Time
Oh time
It pulls
It bends
A circle begins where another ends

[Chorus]
Roots to grow
Wings to fly
One step forward
One goodbye
Round and round
It’s all the same
Life's a spark
A fleeting flame

[Verse 2]
I climbed the trees I once called home
Carved my name in bark
Alone
But branches break
And leaves are thrown

[Chorus]
Roots to grow
Wings to fly
One step forward
One goodbye
Round and round
It’s all the same
Life's a spark
A fleeting flame

[Bridge]
Now I see a seedling bloom
In the cracks of my old room
It bends to light
It reaches high
The cycle starts beneath the sky

Roots and Wings
