How will your garden ever bear fruit If you never take time to nurture the roots its Easy to overstand You got no future plans Your arms are scrawny and your skin is pale You got no dirt under your fingernails You got a lot to learn But you got money to burn
Mama's boy, daddy's little girl Cut of the umbilical get out into the world you've been Hanging on too long little darling I think its about time for you to spread your own wings And you'll find that in time you'll be fine once you learn a few things You have longed for this song for so long now its your turn to sing
And you'll know that you've grown once your own wings Have flown and you'll find a new home That you can call your own but your never gonna know If you never go and sew your seeds and become whole No you're never gonna fly if you never try to reach the heights
Mama's boy, daddy's little girl Cut of the umbilical get out into the world you'll see Things that you never dreamed of step out In the world and you might even find love Mama's boy, daddy's little girl Cut off the umbilical get out into the world you'll see Things you never knew existed the world was passing By and all this time you missed it
And if you're afraid just to make a mistake Well rewards only come out of chances you take So break free from the mold stop doing just as your told Out beyond the end you might make a few new friends And if you are lost and you can't find your way Your tongue is all tied you can't find the words to say Look into your bones the truth is etched there in stone
It has always been waiting for your heart to be awakened And you'll return, standing firm in all you've Learned, ready to be a teacher You have longed for this song for so long Now its your turn to be the singer And your voice will carry, echo through the valleys
Like a trumpet set free in three part harmony If you really wanna see what there is to see Fulfill your destiny, unfold the mysteries Then step into the wild blue Take a look inside you, set yourself free
How will your garden ever bear fruit If you never take time to nurture the roots its Easy to overstand, you got no future plans Your arms are scrawny and your skin is pale You got no dirt under your fingernails You got a lot to learn, but you got money to burn
Mama's boy, daddy's little girl Cut of the umbilical get out into the world You'll never learn to pick yourself up if you never fall So cut off the umbilical
