Angel Wings
Late at night
They were all alone
Getting in their car
Ready to go home
One rifle, two cries
One dead, one hospitalized
Little girl on a gurney, trembling knees
Prays to God, begging please
"I love my mom don't take her, no!"
"If you take her, with her please let me go."
Angel girl lost her wings
Through her troubled years
Beautiful kid, lost her soul
Where did that sweet little girl go?
Boys and drugs corrupted her heart
What was bright and innocent, now turned dark
Many attempts in her short time
Still wishing that shot had took her life
Drunk and unsteady
Angel girl was all alone
She got in her car
Heading for "home"
Faster and faster
High from any dreams
When she crashed, late that night
No one heard her screams
Welcoming arms embraced her
She finally made it back to her home
God gave back the wings to his little girl
The one he's loved and always known
