Mama gave me roots
Daddy gave me wings
Mama gave me breath
Dad taught me to sing
Mama gave me air
Daddy gave me a feather
Mama knew the seasons
Dad knew the weather
Mama gave me roots
Daddy gave me wings
Mama gave me breath
Dad taught me to sing
Mama gave me sun
Daddy gave me shade
Mama was light
Dad knew what darkness weighed
Dad knew what darkness weighed
I am a hair
On an upside down tree
I am a branch
In my family
Mama gave me roots
Daddy gave me wings
Mama gave me breath
Dad taught me to sing
Mama gave me roots
Daddy gave me wings
Mama gave me breath
Dad taught me to sing
Dad taught me to sing
Dad taught me to sing
