In this sorrowed world
A void only you can fill
Let me pray
For wings to lift me up
To cross an angel's path
Their wings for me to borrow
Perhaps to even have
And a hope for me to grasp
Chrous:
Let me fly to heaven
With Heaven's borrowed wings
To see the joy upon your face
Beyond the evil of the world
And into your arms of a loving embrace
Maybe it's more than just a dream
Simplicity, but yet a reality
To see this world through Heaven's eyes
And share your love with different heights
A joy, a sorrow yet restrained
New vision, new life, a new joy regained
The borrowed wings must be returned
For Heaven's taught a lesson learned
Chrous:
Let me fly to heaven
With Heaven's borrowed wings
To see the joy upon your face
Beyond the evil of the world
And into your arms of a loving embrace
