Angel Wings
She sat in her hospital bed
Drawin pictures of the sky
And through all of the pain she felt
She had never asked why
But when the doctor walked in
And said "It's time for your meds"
With tears in her eyes
She looked at the doctor and said
How big are angel wings?
Are they small enough for me?
Do they make them little in the size I might need?
They say where I'm goin'
I won't feel no more pain
So I really need to know,
How big are angel wings?
I can't ask mama
I know it'd make her sad
I don't like to see her cry
And it does the same thing to Dad
And at night when I sleep
I see heaven in my dreams
So please won't you answer this question for me?
How big are angel wings?
Are they small enough for me?
Do they make them little in the size I might need?
They say where I'm goin'
I won't feel no more pain
So I really need to know,
How big are angel wings?
And they say where I'm goin'
I won't feel no more pain
So I really need to know now,
