She's Gonna Fly

(Jason Blume/Karen Taylor-Good)
 This is the woman
 Who had all the answers
 The one I would lean on
 For comfort, for strength
 She's never forgotten
 One grandchild's birthday
 Now she can't remember my name
 And it makes me so angry
 I shake my fist
 And cry out to the heavenly one
 Why would you play
 Such a cold hearted trick
 I thought your job was to love
 And the answer came down from above
 She's gonna fly
 When her time here is through
 First she'll have to let go
 Of some things she can't use
 'Cause people and places
 Memories and faces
 Are just way too heavy it seems
 To carry on angel's wings
 This is the woman
 Who saw things so clearly
 The one who could pick out
 One crumb on the floor
 She saw through a white lie
 Saw me through love's eyes
 She hardly can see anymore
 And it makes me so sad
 And it just isn't fair
 Why should so much be taken away
 But when I cry out
 For all that she's lost
 I silently hear someone say
 She's gonna fly
 When her time here is through
 First she'll have to let go
 Of some things she can't use
 'Cause people and places
 Memories and faces
 Are just way too heavy it seems
 To carry on angel's wings
 And oh, the wonders she'll see
 And I know she'll remember
 To watch over me
 She's gonna fly
 When her time here is through
 First she'll have to let go
 Of some things she can't use
 'Cause people and places
 Memories and faces
 Are just way too heavy it seems
 To carry on angel's wings
 To carry on angel's wings
