Story Behind The Song

This one was for me. I was in despair over my once brilliant mother's condition...and I needed help finding a different way to look at it...other than being really pissed off at God. This song was truly an answer to a prayer.

Song Description

This is a very hopeful song, which actually finds the positive in Alzheimers. Her Mother can't use people, places, memories and faces...they are all to heavy to "carry on Angel's wings"

Lyrics

This is the woman who had all the answers
The one I would lean on for comfort, for strength
She's never forgotten one grandchild's birthday
Now she can't remember my name
And it makes me so angry, I shake my fist
And cry out to the Heavenly One
Why would you play such a cold hearted trick?
I thought your job was to love
And the answer came down from above.....

She's gonna fly, when her time here is through
First she'll have to let go of some things she can't use
Cause people and places, memories and faces
Are just way too heavy it seems....
To carry on angel's wings

This is the woman who saw things so clearly
The one who could pick out one crumb on the floor
She saw through a white lie, saw me through love's eyes
She hardly can see anymore
And it makes me so sad, and it just isn't fair
Why should so much be taken away?
But when I cry out for all that she's lost
I silently hear someone say...

She's gonna fly, when her time here is through
First she'll have to let go of some things she can't use
Cause people and places, memories and faces
Are just way too heavy it seems...
To carry on angel's wings

And Oh....the wonders she'll see
And I know she'll remember to watch over me

She's gonna fly, when her time here is through
First she'll have to let go of some things she can't use
Cause people and places, memories and faces
Are just way too heavy it seems....
To carry on angel's wings....to carry on angel's wings
