The Renaissance - Only Angels Have Wings lyrics

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
