Doug Supernaw - Roots and Wings lyrics



Writers: Skip Ewing/Bill Anderson

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)
