i hear the cry of a girl,
who believes herself an angel,
she claws at her back,
desperate to regain her wings,
but there weren't ever wings there in the first place?
little angel girl, why do you think you're somehow fallen?
heaven isn't a place you've been,
heaven is a place you're going
(i guess, for i am also earthbound
for now
so i don't know much about heaven)
you aren't an angel,
you're higher than that
you were born human,
and God thinks you're the peak of all creation
maybe one day, you'll get your wings
after all is said and done
oh, Angel, don't think that wings will take you away
from everything you want to run from
(wings don't mean you have to leave, either)
see, Angel, your feet will do as well,
if not better,
because up in the sky it's cold and dark
and there's lightening and dragons up there
you're safer down here, with me, with her, with him
you're not an angel,
and you've never been--
you were born human,
perfectly flawed (imperfection is perfection)
and i think that human is the most beautiful thing
anyone could be,
you're not an angel, not a demon, not a monster
you're just a person
like me

ugh dunno where i was going with this :/
