James Bonamy - Roots And Wings lyrics

rate me

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
