You say you are an angel
Whose wings have been torn away
A figure of beauty and glory
Who once flown among the shining stars
How painful it must be
To be trapped among earthly beings
To look up at the silvery clouds
Longing for the time gone by
With tears in your eyes
You have asked the Lord a thousand times
Not for riches or glory or fame
But just a simple reason why
In the right time and place
You will see and comprehend
I took away your wings of sparrows
So I can give you the wings of eagles
So that one day you may soar
Far above even the highest clouds
And lead the flock of my wandering children
To the Promised Land beyond the River Jordan
So let go your wings of sparrows
For they’re only good for chasing after worms
And let grow your wings of eagles
For the big blue sky is where you belong
