Without Wings Here I Stay
Without wings here I stay
On broken wings
I try to fly
My hardest to reach heaven
In the blue painted skies
The more I attempt
The more I fail
I fall each time
Laying on the ground
My pride is hurt
Laying here in the dirt
Where did I go wrong?
Is this the punishment?
I know I deserve it
For a life of sin
My life story where shall I begin
Leading myself astray
While I am on my knees perhaps I should pray
Ask for a second chance
A third chance
A fourth chance
I lost count of the chances I have been given
So when it is my time to fly
Access will be denied
I must find a new way home
Before the gates close
And I am left on the outside looking in
Dirty from this life
Bathe in this sin
Free choices I have made
Shall I lay down my hopes and desires?
Before taking a dip in the lake of fire
