An Angel is Born

Why oh Lord am I in this bed.
when in my heart I feel I should wander about instead.

My body is taken by an alien being
slowly poisoning all who lean.

I...am but a man, trying to live as best as I can,
why have you taken this when you know I cannot bend?

I cannot see anything but these four walls
they are slowly surrounding this door.

My life was full...I cannot deny,
I lived and loved, I want another try.

This form that is compose of me,
is being eaten away...can't you see?

Slowly...years pass me by,
I want to live but not a lie.

I cry because of thoughts of thee,
my sweet love, don't look this way, can't you see?

My heart is broken, my form is frail
however taken I must prevail.

I, while laying in this form,
slowly have grown in spirit, not to be adorn.

I have mellowed within my years,
I've learn to not say things, that you shouldn't be beared.

As death approaches my frail form,
I ask the Lord to spare me before dawn.

He slowly answers my dear child,
you have been chosen to be reborn.

In the heavens, where I am king,
you will gain wings...to be with me.

Yes..you will be ....an angel,
I give you your wings!
