Your Wings

Sometimes at night as I lie in bed
Staring through the dark
I hear the creaking of the floor
Maybe the movement of a door
Or the fluttering of a wing

Through the day I face reality
Cold and stark
I wish you could have stayed
My thoughts drift away
I think I hear a choir of angels sing

Have you got your wings or are you
Waiting patiently in line
With the others who
Have earned them too
In their life time
A gift for the chosen
For the special few
People like you

So many changes in my life
With you I want to share
Half the bed is empty now
But I still believe you're here somehow
Like we're joined by a heavenly string

I can feel your presence near me
In the air
I look to the ceiling
Theres an uplifting feeling
I think I hear a belI somewhere ring

Have you got your wings or are you
Waiting patiently in line
With the others who
Have earned them too
In their life time
A gift for the chosen
For the special few
People like you

I see a silhouette, a shadow cast upon a wall
In the fading light I see the beauty of it all
The finest feathers, the aura of a halo
When I sleep tonight at last I'll know
You have them and I can finally let go

Have you got your wings or are you
Waiting patiently in line
With the others who
Have earned them too
In their life time
A gift for the chosen
For the special few
People like you
