"Angel"
by Amy

I don't need to be an angel, 
But to have wings might set me free 
From all that might discourage 
My attempts at being me. 

I don't want to be an angel, 
But what would there be to fear? 
I'd be living in the light of God, 
And worries would seem so mear 

I can't try to be an angel. 
I will always be a mortal underneath. 
The halo and the flowing robes 
Can't shadow sin from me. 

But if I were an angel, 
I know exactly how it would feel: 
Like being close to my own soul, 
I'd know my fate was sealed.
