Cemetery Songs: Angel

I’ve always loved this song in its original version, but the other night I happened to catch this one by Sarah Simmons… I’m convinced this young singer is going places. I was blown away by her presence and voice. I’ve listened to it several times this past week and every time it goes straight to the soul of me and I can nearly feel his arms around me.

Teaching Angels to Fly…

I wonder if you have expert abilities in flying with angel wings
if you are better at it than non-pilot angels.
If you’re as good with your own wings
as you were at flying that glass bubble in the sky…

I wonder if you are busily helping others as they arrive.
Unsure how to use their new wings,
I wonder if you are tasked with helping them learn how to fly…
Our flight instructor on the other side.

I wonder how free it must feel to not need a machine,
to never have to do a preflight before you go up.
Or maybe you do…
If I know you, you’re inspecting every feather upon your back
for the slightest debris, bend, or break…
to ensure the upmost safety of your trip.
And you are enforcing the same habits in everyone you teach.

Making wonderfully responsible and safe guardian angels
to journey from your realm down to ours to watch over us.

I wonder if you are up there, out there
teaching angels how to fly.
