Paper Wings & Halo
Lori McKenna

Mary is an angel

Says a five year old's wide eyes

You are the oldest person I've ever seen

Mary sighs

These are the wings

I made you so you can fly

When you get to heaven

Tell my grandmother I said 'Hi'

She's on the fifth floor balcony

She sees heaven closer than us

She knows that God is watching

She knows that she can always trust

Her paper wings and halo

Mary is a full care resident on her last days

They feed her pills and oatmeal

She's set in her ways

Mary was born in England in 1904

She married young and had five children

And all but one died before her

She's on the fifth floor balcony

She sees heaven closer than us

She knows that God is watching

She knows that she can always trust

Her paper wings and halo

Mary is tired of waiting

She is almost there

Mary knows she could fly

She could fly

If she could get out

Of that damn chair

Mary talks about her children

When they were young

You remind me of my grandchild

Loving life and having fun

Mary's time is coming

And she's not afraid

Mary is a good woman

And she loved the life that she made

That she made

She's on the fifth floor balcony

She knows heaven awaits her now

She knows that God is calling

And when it's time to fly

She'll know how

With her paper wings and halo

Mary is an angel

Says a five year old's wide eyes

You are the oldest person I've ever seen

Mary smiles

These are the wings

I made you so you can fly

When you get to heaven

Tell my mother I said 'Hi'
