FALLEN
ANGEL.

I came down without thunder.
No golden gates behind me.
No choir calling my name.
Just earth beneath my feet…
and a human heart starting to beat.

I came from where the light was endless
To a street that had no name
Left the silence of the heavens
For the hunger and the rain

I traded wings for heavy shoulders
Traded sky for tired skin
Felt the cold move through my fingers
Felt the world come rushing in

And every step was unfamiliar
Every breath was made of stone
But somewhere deep inside the falling
I was not alone

I am a fallen angel
Learning how to bleed
Walking through the dust now
With a human need

I am a fallen angel
No halo in my hand
I came down from forever
Just to live like a man

I heard laughter through the window
I saw sorrow in the eyes
Saw a mother hold her child close
Saw a poor man share his light

I saw beauty in the broken
Saw mercy in the street
Saw that heaven never taught me
How the wounded still can breathe

Now the stars feel far above me
Now the night knows where I stand
But this heart inside my chest
Has made me understand

I am a fallen angel
Learning how to bleed
Walking through the dust now
With a human need

I am a fallen angel
No halo in my hand
I came down from forever
Just to live like a man

Let the sky keep all its glory
Let the clouds remember me
I have found a darker wisdom
In the weight of being free

There is pain inside the living
There is fire inside the fall
There is love in dirty doorways
And I came to feel it all

I came down!
I came down!
With broken wings
I came down!

I am a fallen angel
Learning how to bleed
Walking through the dust now
With a human need

I am a fallen angel
No halo in my hand
I came down from forever
Just to live like a man

No crown
No wings
No endless light

Just breath
Just blood
Just one more night

Fallen angel
On this land
Learning heaven
Through the hands of man
