Verse 1
I wish I was an angel, I'd fly over this town, I wish I was an angel, I'd never hit the ground
I wish I was an angel, I'd grow a pair of wings, I wish I was an angel, I'd shine on everything
Chorus
And every dirty memory would suddenly be pure, and every dirty part of me would slowly disappear, and I'd bless you, and I'd praise you
And you'd love me for the day, and I'd get down upon my knees for you and I'd pray
Verse 2
Verse 2
I know that I'm no angel, I'm only wearing white, I'll never be your angel, I know I'm not your kind
I'll never be an angel, I can't get off the ground, I'll never be an angel, these tears that fall they don't make any sound
(chorus)
Bridge
So father forgive me, I have sinned, these promises were scattered on the wind
The cycle that we're in will never change, you break the door and tear me down, anyway
Father forgive me, what have I done, have I rejected you or your son
The price you asl is getting out of hand, I'm still struggling to find the promised land
(chorus)

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop

LIFE TEACHES US THE ART OF LETTING GO.
Dissolve. Go beyond. Rise above. Stop. Cut across. Celebrate. Love. or However.
Transcend it beautifully. With a melody.
