Lyrics

STURDY ROOTS AND STEADY WINGS

When you walk into the house
With your dirty boots and sweaty things,
You already know what your mother brings:
She brings sturdy roots and steady wings.
Sturdy roots and steady wings.

Sturdy roots can make you feel secure,
Always safe and warm;
Steady wings can help you rise above
The most severe storm.

When the preacher talks about
Pure first fruits and other heady things,
You already know what your Father brings:
He brings sturdy roots and steady wings.
Sturdy roots and steady wings.

Sturdy roots can make you feel secure,
Always safe and warm;
Steady wings can help you rise above
The most severe storm.

When she falls in love with you,
Not your thirty suits and petty things;
You’ll already know what a good wife brings:
She brings sturdy roots and steady wings.
Sturdy roots and steady wings.

Sturdy roots can make you feel secure,
Always safe and warm;
Steady wings can help you rise above
The most severe storm.
