I Once Had Wings

Lyrics

I once had wings
And held a godly string
Among these kings
But oh, how did I sin!
I fell from grace
And became the one displaced
What happened next I did not expect

They punished me for my sins
Burned my wings
You see the scars
Once they had stolen my wings
I left the kings
To live in the dark

Let history just tell its tales
Your scars will fade
Another day will break

We all have made a few mistakes
But you have paid them back
With your heartache
Today

Lost everything
Just for a small fling
I had nothing
And welcomed death to bring
Bring me some guidance
I got back my highness
And in the silence
I moved to the world's end

I could see all the stars
All the time
'Cause it was dark
One part of me died
When I couldn't fly
And then I left the sky

Let history just tell its tales
Your scars will fade
Another day will break

We all have made a few mistakes
But you have paid them back
With your heartache

I am here
'Cause I want it all
What was taken away from me
I want it all
And more
I know there's a hidden door
I've seen it once before
There lies everything that used to be
All we need is to use your key
I just can't wait to hold it once more

Let history just tell its tales
Your scars will fade
Another day will break

We all have made a few mistakes
But you have paid them back
With your heartache

Your scars will fade
With your heartache
Your scars will fade
