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

And a part of me stays grounded

So the rest of me can fly
Bb
Only cause you are my
C F
Roots and wings

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
