Statues of Angels

Only thing that separates a saint
From the one that's in sin
Is when a man falls down
He gets back up again
And my wings were bound
Stuck in cement blocks with dead ends
Trapped in this world of peril
How could I ever win? Yeah

Oh Lord, no matter what
Will I always fail
Will I ever learn how to fly
Will I ever learn to break this shell
Is heaven only for the holy
Will I escape this hell
From my crucified hands
Will you take out this nail
Could it be I'm strongest
When I feel so frail
Will I ever break through
That dark shadowed veil
With these painful stories
That I was born to tell
Will you baptize your servant
Do I deserve it, to get out of sewers wells

Behold, I don't fit this mold
I'll rip the cement off my wings
I'll shatter the bondage it holds
I'll stretch out, and I'll fly my wings
And I'll fly, and I'll fly, and I'll fly, and I'll fly
I'll continue to grow
One thing I know
Prayer overcomes, precious Lord
Lost Angels

There was no overnight success
The struggle of my ascendance
Was the agony of suffering
That came with a 10-year sentence
But thank the Lord for the pain
This my life penance
Demons tried to hold me back
But you rebuked them in their vengeance
Why would I trade eternity
For what's for an instance
Ironically, losin' everything
Is what made me finally win this
Run it

This is my street prayer
A lost angel of the poor
Please have mercy on me
From thy judgment, Lord
Renew me a right spirit
Hack away my sin with the sword
I can't go on living
With a life that I can't afford
I could never make it
Had your words been ignored
For those who've been rejected
I come begging at your door

My dear God, I receive you
And may you never lead me astray
I shall never deceive you
In your precious name, we pray
Lost Angels

Behold, I don't fit this mold
I'll rip the cement off my wings
I'll shatter the bondage it holds
I'll stretch out, and I'll fly my wings
And I'll fly, and I'll fly, and I'll fly, and I'll fly
I'll continue to grow
One thing I know
Prayer overcomes, precious Lord
Lost Angels
