Roots And Wings Lyrics

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 veil

Took her arm and walked her down the aisle

When the preacher turned and ask himJames Bonamy - Roots And Wings - http://motolyrics.com/james-bonamy/roots-and-wings-lyrics.html

'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
