A Mama watched her baby
|
Fall and bump his head
|
Taking baby steps across the floor
|
|
She could have tried to catch him
|
But a voice inside her said
|
In the long run, that'll only hurt him more
|
|
But she picked me up and told me that she loved me
|
And she helped me and she made me feel secure
|
And I grew to understand what real love means
|
And what it takes for two hearts to endure
|
|
Roots and wings
|
To my ship you are the lighthouse on the shore
|
And I'm a kite on your string
|
Your love is my anchor in the storm
|
And a part of me stays grounded so the rest of me can fly
|
But only 'cause you are my Roots and Wings
|
|
A daddy kissed his baby
|
Then he fixed her vail
|
Took her arm and walked her down the aisle
|
|
When the preacher turned and ask him,
|
"Who gives this child away?"
|
Well he said "Me", and did his best to smile
|
|
Now you call him every weekend and you tell him
|
That you love him and you're thankful as can be
|
That his firm hand and his soft heart were a blessing
|
And the reason you can give the gift to me of
|
|
Roots and wings
|
To my ship you are the lighthouse on the shore
|
And I'm a kite on your string
|
Your love is my anchor in the storm
|
And a part of me stays grounded so the rest of me can fly
|
But only 'cause you are my Roots and Wings
|
|
Roots and wings
|
To my ship you are the lighthouse on the shore
|
And I'm a kite on your string
|
Your love is my anchor in the storm
|
And a part of me stays grounded so the rest of me can fly
|
But only 'cause you are my Roots and Wings
