Celestial

You clipped me You clipped my wings I used to be an angel Majestic celestial being But I couldn't just sing I wanted to lead I used to shine so much you wanted me dim A tree in the forest Just fit in But that was not me A star of my system Created on the third day I was not from rib Created from the word great I am not from clay You should have seen my wings But you were not on scene You cannot believe you could not believe in me You want to see yourself in me So you clipped me I need to learn? You couldn't teach I need humility? I hurt your pride By being free By being me But Me I am I am Me Fallen to dust Building myself I am gene Waiting for my wings to gleam Once the wound heals The blood coalesce My light will light the world again My voice will heal the sick My love will be free And no one will ever kneel
