Earthbound

She started as an angel 
Only she fell to the earth
She longed to feel the wind blowing 
It made her feel free
Her heart was golden
It couldn't be measured for it's worth
She has the soul of a savior
Helping anyone she'd meet
Then one day she flew to close to the sun
All her beautiful feathers got severely burned
She tumbled and tumbled
Her wings broken and bruised
All the souls that she had once helped
Were nowhere around
Now she's forever stuck here
Trapped and earthbound.
