On Angel’s Wings

This is the woman who had all the answers
The one I would lean on for comfort, for strength
She's never forgotten one grandchild's birthday
Now she can't remember my name
And it makes me so angry, I shake my fist
And cry out to the Heavenly One
Why would you play such a cold-hearted trick
I thought your job was to love
And the answer came down from above

She's gonna fly
When her time here is through
First she'll have to let go
Of some things she can't use
'Cause people and places, memories and faces
Are just way too heavy it seems
To carry on angel's wings

This is the woman who saw things so clearly
The one who could pick out one crumb on the floor
She saw through a white lie, saw me through loves eyes
She hardly can see anymore
And it makes me so sad. And it just isn't fair
Why should so much be taken away
But when I cry out for all that she's lost
I silently hear someone say

She's gonna fly
When her time here is through
First she'll have to let go
Of some things she can't use
'Cause people and places, memories and faces
Are just way too heavy it seems
To carry on angel's wings

And oh... the wonders she'll see
And I know she'll remember to watch over me

She's gonna fly
When her time here is through
First she'll have to let go
Of some things she can't use
'Cause people and places, memories and faces
Are just way too heavy it seems
To carry on angel's wings
To carry on angel's wings
