Wings

so much hope
rises out of the despair
like an angel
without wings

and when asked if she wanted wings
she said with a smile that children chase
what good are wings if I can't feel
the wind upon my face

she treasured life
beyond my comprehension
she feared nothing
startled my apprehension
she woke my hope
and quelled my fear
inspired my laugh
and my hearts tear

and when asked if she would live
but for a moment, just to die
she said she would not trade one moment of life
for eternity in the sky

she treasured life
beyond my understanding
she feared nothing
startled my poised commanding
she woke my faith
and quelled my doubt
inspired my love
and helped me out

and when asked to explain it
she smiled from twinkling eyes
and without a word she said
  no one is so wise...
  no one is so wise...

she treasured life
needed no explanation
she feared nothing
relished every sensation
she woke my soul
dissolved my lies
so my spirit could fly
with open eyes

and when asked if she would live
but for a moment, just to die
she said she would not trade one moment of life
for eternity in the sky

so much hope
rises out of the despair
like an angel
without wings

and when asked if she wanted wings
she said with a smile that children chase
what good are wings if I can't feel...
the wind upon my face
feel the wind upon my face
feel the wind... upon my face
