Roots and Wings Lyrics & Tabs by Ed Sheeran
Roots and Wings
guitar chords lyrics
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
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 veil
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
