There are things you got to hear
Things you got to know
I wanna tell you what I've learned
Before I get too old
I don't doubt it baby
That you already know... you already know
So be what you are don't forget it
They'll push you down don't you let 'em do it
With roots and wings you're meant to fly
Bring it along what'll make you strong
Whatever you think you're where you belong
Instead of wasting time
And taking things for granted
Life it will be good
But not the way you plan it
So be what you are don't forget it
They'll push you down don't you let 'em do it
With roots and wings you're meant to fly
Don't for get what you came to say
You can write it down for another day
The dee-dee-dee da-da-da-da part
So be what you are don't forget it
They'll push you down don't you let 'em do it
With roots and wings you're meant to fly
Bring it along what'll make you strong
Whatever you think you're where you belong
