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
