Song Lyrics and Activities
Charlotte Diamond

This song, with complete sign language motions and lesson ideas, is available on
A World of Music with Charlotte Diamond.

See below for some of the sign language motions for this song.

Chorus:
Roots and wings, I want to sing
Roots and wings, I want to fly,
I need the ground to walk around
But I also need my wings.

Hold my hand, then let me go
I need to try, I need to know,
That I can do it on my own
Flying solo, all alone.

Chorus

One wing is short, the other longer...

Chorus

Right or wrong, win or lose...

Chorus

If I go, I'll return...

Chorus

Ending:
I also need my wings
I also need my...
Roots and wings, I want to sing
Roots and wings, I want to fly
I also need my wings!
