To fall down from heaven,
Wouldn't be so bad.
I could be loved, now
Tell me, how's that's sad?
Instead of taking lives,
I could help keep you alive.
If I was just like the rest of you,
I know just who I'd want to be.
I'd become a doctor, maybe a nurse,
And help everyone who has been hurt.
I'd be so grateful for the fact that I can die,
Because even when I do I can tell God
That I was alive.
Wish I could make you smile,
Wish I could just stay a while.
Wish I was the someone who was loved,
Wish I could just fall from above...
I want to be a fallen angel.
I want to know what it's like to be alive.
I don't care if I die the day I fall,
I just want to know if I'm missing anything at all.
Wish I was the one you lay down beside,
Wish I was the one that tucked you in tonight.
Wish I was the one you wanted around,
Wish I could just fall to the ground.
I heard a girl cry last night,
'Why'd you take my dad, please tell me why,
Couldnt you hear me screaming to him all night
'Please, Daddy, don't lose this fight! '? '
Well,
Wish I could just hold you tight,
Wish I could stay with you all through the night.
Wish I could hold your heart,
Wish I could keep you safe from harm.
Wish I didn't have to make you cry,
Wish I didn't make you have to say goodbye.
Wish I was the one who was holding you,
Wish I was the one who promised he would make it through.
Wish I was the one who stood beside that bed,
When the doctor said, 'Here comes his head.'
Wish I was the girl who smiled and cried,
Hearing her baby brothers first few cries.
Wish I was the one who held that child,
Saying 'Look at him! He has his mothers eyes.'
Wish I was the one who gave birth to the child,
So I can finally say 'I've given you life.'
Wish I could just make you smile,
Wish I could just stay a while.
Wish I was the someone who was loved,
Wish I could just fall from above.
I want to be a fallen angel.
I want to know what it's like to be alive.
I don't care if I die the day I fall,
I just want to know if I'm missing anything at all.
