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
