[Verse]
Little hands used to hold mine tight
Now they're reaching for the sky tonight
Silent footsteps down the hall
Where did the time go? I can't recall
[Prechorus]
A shadow taller than the trees
Her voice an echo in the breeze
[Chorus]
Roots and wings she’s got both
Grounded here yet flying close
Roots and wings my heart's torn
Watching her rise like the sun reborn
[Verse 2]
Crayon drawings on the fridge are gone
Now she’s painting her life in a stormy dawn
Taught her strength but I feel weak
The words she says the paths she seeks
[Prechorus]
She’s fire burning through the cold
A story fierce and still untold
[Chorus]
Roots and wings she’s got both
Grounded here yet flying close
Roots and wings my heart's torn
Watching her rise like the sun reborn
