Angel Without Wings

(KAP) My eyes are crying with contrite… I will still try within my reach’s might I beseech happiness and delight Beyond the tension and fright tonight (David B.) Fighting the shameful silence away, away Also, I wish upon the chaos death today Praying away the painful, dreadful tears Falling prey to the years of nightmares (KAP/David B.) I’m an angel, not taking wing I can be anything I want to be, darling angel you I’m a Phoenix, doing its thing I wish you wings in another life, baby love oh so true (Both) I’m an angel without wings I’m doing beautiful things I’m not a devilish fool But, I’m a river, so cool I’m an angel without wings Let’s see what happiness brings I’m an angel I’m an angel I’m an angel I’m an angel without wings I’m doing beautiful things I’m not a devilish child I’m just a guy so wild I’m an angel without wings Let’s see what joyfulness brings I’m an angel I’m an angel I’m an angel (David B.) With or without flight, with or without any kind of flight, You’ll see me try tonight and I won’t be afraid with might I’m extremely fly, but I must say goodbye to the dust Of my past mistakes and actually wipe away the rust (KAP) From my vehicle of vanity for goodness sakes! Shoulder to shoulder, be my mindset’s brakes Just ascend from grieving on the cold ground There’s no end to conceiving joy without a sound (KAP) I’m an angel, not taking wing I can be anything I want to be, darling angel you I’m a Phoenix, doing its thing I wish you wings in another life, baby love oh so true (DWB) I’m an angel without wings I’m doing beautiful things I’m not a devilish fool But, I’m a river, so cool I’m an angel without wings Let’s see what happiness brings I’m an angel I’m an angel I’m an angel (KAP) I’m an angel without wings I’m doing beautiful things I’m not a devilish child I’m just a girl so wild I’m an angel without wings Let’s see what hopefulness brings I’m an angel I’m an angel I’m an angel (KAP) Words fly, I cannot lie I am nestled in a lullaby I wish you no goodbye I’ll give it my best try Not to cry, not to cry, (David B.) But I will become fly Words fly, I cannot lie I am nestled in a lullaby I wish you no goodbye (David B./KAP) I’ll give it my best try Not to cry, not to cry, But I will become fly (KAP) I’m an angel, not taking wing I can be anything I want to be, darling angel you I’m a Phoenix, doing its thing I wish you wings in another life, baby love oh so true (KAP) I’m an angel without wings I’m doing beautiful things I’m not a devilish fool But, I’m a river, so cool I’m an angel without wings Let’s see what happiness brings I’m an angel I’m an angel I’m an angel (David B.) I’m an angel without wings I’m doing beautiful things I’m not a devilish child I’m just a guy, very wild I’m an angel without wings Let’s see what cheerfulness brings I’m an angel I’m an angel I’m an angel (David B.) Overtime, I will eventually be Who I want to be, oh, you see? Overcoming the thoughts of captivity, Seeking the light of lovely liberty Lovely liberty of grace and glee I’m just trying to be oh so happy I’m trying to be glorious in my own way, shape or form I’m attempting to whisper you words of wisdom and keep you safe and warm, (KAP) You worn-out butterfly you You doubtless hopeful rue, Will you ever be satisfied? (Both) Will you be abiding by my side?
