Lyrics
Without Wings
By: J. Best, J. Elliott, M. Morgan and R. Tausch
Heroes find a way to walk into our lives
And I won't forget the day one almost died
Through fire and twisted steel he pulled my daughter from the crash
He never thought about his pain; it all happened so fast
Six years later he?s at Cindy?s grade school play
I couldn't help but cry when I watched her act
In my mind I saw the picture from that day
When he handed her to me without a scratch
Chorus
You won't see them on a greeting card
With white robes bright as day
And they can't fly up and touch the sky
But they'll step into harm?s way
And save someone who barely clings to life
All you can say
They're Angels, Angels without wings
Cindy, now, is grown with her own place to stay
She works the suicide hot-line everyday
And many nights she'll drive to any scary part of town
And face her fears to turn somebody else?s life around
You can clearly see the hidden hand of God
The amazing way he moves behind the scene
When I cried out "Lord please help my little girl"
And an Angel saved an Angel without wings
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
They're the reason someone gets a second chance
To stay here for the rest of life?s dance
Repeat Chorus
All they can possibly be
Are people like you and me
