She was an angel they say
With wings of fluttering light
She reached for the sky
And danced through darkest night
People watched her
But she watched people
And she saw the world
Standing atop the highest steeple
Her smile was grace
And her eyes were love
She wore beauty about her
As pure white gloves
She was an angel they say
She loved those who loved her
And loved more those who didn't
She held withered old hands
And kissed the cheeks of children
She was a friend to the world
And a lover to the broken
Her hands held tight
To the lost and stolen
Smiling with grace filled lips
And speaking with lovely words
A voice from heaven
She was an angel they say
But she fell from grace
She was a friend to a world
That loved nothing but hate
While her hands held on tight
Those around her let go
The angel of light
Had nowhere to go
A smile for other people
Left tear stains on her cheeks
So the angel climbed the highest steeple
And tested her flightless wings
