A momma watched her baby
Dm
Fall and bump his head
Gm          C                F
Takin' baby steps across the floor
She could've tried to catch him
      Dm
But a voice inside her said
       Gm                C             F
In the long run, it will only hurt him more
         Gm                                C
But, she picked me up and told me that she loved me
        Bb                               C
And she held me and she made me feel sec ure
  Gm                           C
I grew to understand what real love means
    Bb                                 C
And what it takes for two hearts to en dure

          Bb
Roots and wings
      Gm               C                 F
To my ship you are the lighthouse on the shore
             F/A         Bb
And I'm kite on your str ing
Gm              C             F
Your love is my anchor in the storm
      Bb
And a part of me stays grounded
       Dm             Gsus G
So the rest of me can fly
           Bb
Only cause you are my

A daddy kissed his baby
Dm
Then he fixed her veil
Gm               C                   F
Took her arm and walked her down the aisle
When the preacher asked him
     Dm
"Who gives this child away"
Gm               C                  F
He said "me" and did his best to sm ile
        Gm                             C
Now you call him every weekend and you tell him
         Bb                                C
That you love him and your thankful as can be
         Gm                                    C
That his firm hand as his soft heart were a bl essing
        Bb                              C
And the reason you can give the gift to me

             Bb
Of roots and wings
      Gm               C                 F
To my ship you are the lighthouse on the shore
             F/A         Bb
And I'm kite on your str ing

Your love is my anchor in the storm
      Bb
And a part of me stays grounded

Only cause you are my

Some say love's a circle

Some say love's a light
Gm
Some say love's a river

I don't know who's right
     Bb
But, this I know for certain

This I know for truth

The secret to forever
    C
For me and you...
