Your going through life on paper wings
and your heart is hurt and it stings
and the only reason your still living
is because your living on the wings of a prayer
You are torn inside
emotionally and physically
And you have been broken inside
into a million little pieces
And through your emotional experiences
you don't know what to believe in anymore
Because you are going
through so much sorrow
and the pain is unbearable
And you don't know
if you will ever see tomorrow
You are all locked up inside
your own emotional prison
And you just want to quit
living
You find yourself
hiding all your emotional feelings
And you don't
have anyone to talk too
because they are all afraid
of what will happen to you
And you are so afraid
to pick up the phone
and call nine one one
And you still don't know what to do
when your feeling blue
And your all alone
No one is around
to comfort you
And you start crying
and feeling so empty inside
And you keep praying every night
on the wings of a prayer
and you keep hoping
things will change
so that you can stay alive
Because you always get hurt
and physically abused
and you don't know
how to walk out the door
And you find your self
all alone locked in your own shell
And I know its like living in hell
Because you are going
through life on paper wings
And piece by piece
your forced to face
your sorrows all alone
Until that day comes
when you can walk out the door
and walk away
and finally be free
from all the devils thorns
everything will be the same
But some day
you will know it is time
to get away
on the wings of a prayer
and angels will comfort you in every way
So that you can live to see another day
to tell your side of the story
Then you will finally be free
from all your pain
and the healing process will begin
Quit living on paper wings
so that you can be free
to start living
your life all over again
