A Mamma watched her baby fall and bump his head
|
Taking baby steps across the floor
|
She could have tired to catch him but a voice inside her said
|
In the long run that will only hurt him more
|
But she picked me up and told me that she loved me
|
And she held 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
|
|
Chorus:
|
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
|
Only 'cause you are
|
My roots and wings
|
|
A Daddy kissed his baby and then he fixed her veil
|
Took her arm and walked down the aisle
|
When the preacher asked him who gives this child away
|
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)
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
Some say love's a circle
|
Some say love's a light
|
Some say love's a river
|
I don't know who's right
|
But this I know for certain
|
This I know for truth
|
The secret to forever
|
For me and you is...
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
I'm lucky that you are my roots and wings
|
|
(Chorus)
