I Am Not An Angel

I am not an angel

Unintentional in verse

I never took the vow

For better or for worse

I am not an angel

Your gun should not be drawn

When did I offend you?

What did I do wrong?

O' yes, the one mistake

Was complaining the condition

But I am reinventing

The purpose of my mission

I am not an angel

Whether you love me

Or love me not

I am only human

Conformity my lot

Well, I'm slow to listen

To your Master of derision

I turn my back on him

Pledge allegiance with omission

I am not an angel

Tho' one comforts my aching heart

Led so to temptation

Separate from Thou Art

My Father does forgive me

For the fool I've been

I acknowledge my earthen plight

So I may fly again

Forty years I had to wait

The Enemy stood strong

Knocking at my door

Stifling my song

Angel not am I

But I can hear them sing

Poetry in harmony

Revealing everything

Above, below, beyond

Whispered to a scream

Within and without

In reality the dream.
