about

This song is about events in my life that have emotionally affected me (and others) immensely and have played a role in shaping my life. The song has inspirational meaning as well.

lyrics

When I was a young boy
My parents split up
We boarded an airplane
Flew back to where we're from

We got wings to fly away
Like two angels, we flew away

The last time I saw my dad
He was standing on a train
I waived goodbye to him
And I cried in the rain

He got wings to fly away
Like an angel, he flew away

I watched the horses
Pulling the President
His wife wore a black veil
And his son was saluting

He got wings to fly away
Like an angel, he flew away

The phone rang in the night
My friend was distraught
Something about John Lennon
And how he had been shot

He got wings to fly away
Like an angel, he flew away

I held back my feelings
And tried to be tough
When my lover told me
That she didn't want my love

I got wings to fly away
Like an angel, I flew away

I sat beside the bed
And held my mother's hand
I watched her take her last breath
And tried to understand

She got wings to fly away
Like an angel, she flew away
