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
