Mary the angel

On Tuesdays mornings you'd wake her up

Take the firty clothes

And be on your way

In the afternoons

When she got home

You'd share a snack

And talk about the day

You'd fry chicken

At her birthday party

For that alone

They would've stayed

To the little girl

You were her greatest present

To other kids you were just

The maid

If angels can fly

Then you can fly

If angels can fly

Then you'd...

Go with her to your neighborhood

To play with children door to door

Unaware of heat between your colors

Eternal war of man rich and poor

And home there was no home

With you she'd run away

You said Your Mum and Dad

They love you so"

And gentle strength convinced the girl

Then you can fly

If angels can fly

Then you'd...

When you had a stroke on

That summer's night

The teenage girl nearly

Thought you died

She wanted bad to wake you up....

Then you can fly

If angels can fly

Then you can...
