A different smile upon her face
He's proud to be a part of it all
A welcome from the human race
A world so big and one that's so small
You see they've come so very far
But can't believe that's
The way it was planned
Just can't understand
That only angels have wings
With all the love they could give
Is this a fit place to live
Where only angels have wings
Through school days growing very fast
Today a boy, tomorrow a man
His roots set deeply in the past
It's hard but keep your head if you can
You see he's come so very far
But can't believe that's
The way it was planned
Just can't understand
That only angels have wings
Ambition so low with nowhere to go
As only angels have wings
Then suddenly an element of chance
Night falls on his town
The colours blend and dance
He's breaking in, no time to go back
There must be some way out
Making life easy - hear him shout it out
His father can't believe his ears
His mother stands with tears in her eyes
No child of theirs could be so wrong
Deep down inside a part of them dies
You see they tried so very hard
But just can't see that's
The way it was planned
Just can't understand
That only angels have wings
A part of our age, an action in rage
And only angels have wings
So far away, a time for second thought
Things seem much clearer now
The price for being caught
He longs for home and wants to go back
To how it was before
An ordinary person, happy to be born
