I am a One Winged Angel,
Not human, nor divine.
It is difficult to walk through this world
With one foot in the air, the other on the ground.
With effort my thoughts touch the clouds,
With humanity they come back down.
My flights have taught me of the Lord
And of his will for men,
Yet I cannot know the entire truth,
I am but a One Winged Angel.
A One Winged Angel am I,
Both fallen and free.
I can endure falls many men cannot,
Yet no blow leaves me unmarked.
With but one wing in the world to soar,
I am pelted by the sins of man,
And though I have more of which to hide with,
My wing is not meant for the caves of sinners.
I cannot escape all of life’s trials, sins, and pain,
I am but a One Winged Angel.
An Angel is meant to freely do Gods will; I am but a One Winged Angel…
An Angel is meant to know truth and show it; I am but a One Winged Angel…
An Angel is meant to be free of the sins of man; I am but a One Winged Angel…
An Angel is not meant to fail but I am a One Winged Angel…
I will rejoice in the day my struggle between Heaven and Earth will end,
The day when God sends death to return to me my second wing...
And so begins the tale...
