Wings

Why is it that the ones we love the most We push away instead of hold them close Why do we spend our lives wondering why When the answer's right in front of our eyes? It's like we've built a disguise inside our fragile minds The world has changed so much I don't even know what happened to mankind There is so much change every day It's like nothing gold can stay here anyway And now the sands in the hourglass are slipping away Never know how long you'll be able to stay I know not everyone I love will be here one day That's why I'll hold them close now and I'll say (say say say) Why is it that the ones we love the most We push away instead of hold them close Why do we spend our lives wondering why When the answer's right in front of our eyes? The angels we know were here first, We need to think of them now before they leave this earth We'll miss them when they're gone You'll wish you'd known all along The angels we know were here first, We need to think of them now before they leave this earth We'll miss them when they're gone You'll wish you'd known all along When they leave you'll see their wings My whole life I didn't know a thing Until I saw the light It was so, so bright Why is it that the ones we love the most We push away instead of hold them close Why do we spend our lives wondering why When the answer's right in front of our eyes? In front of our eyes In front of our eyes
