Roots And Wings Lyrics - Doug Supernaw

A mama 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 

Is 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 of me 

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 

Some say love's a circle 

Some say love's a light 

Some say love's a river 

But I don't know who's right 

But this I know for certain 

And this I know for truth 

That the secret to forever 

For me and you is 

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 

I'm lucky that you are my 

Roots and wings
