An angel struggles to take flight,
But she can barely get off the ground...
Wings made of paper
Weren't meant to fly very far.
Her heart tells her she was born to fly
But yet reality screams that she wasn't.
She cries in anguish
As the rainfall desintegrates
Her freshly made wings,
Now how is she to escape
The fires that burn too close?
Is she imagining them
Or did she create them?
No, they were there long before she acknowledged them.
Find some more paper,
Oh willful angel,
Start your wings again
And perhaps they'll be stronger this time.

when angels believe
flight is never a problem
I believe in you

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

  Faith

I know that to fly
only needs the sky within
and belief in wing
