[Verse 1] I fell from the heavens with a fire in my eyes, Woke up on the pavement underneath unfamiliar skies. No halo on my head, no choir in the air, Just a heartbeat in my chest and the weight of despair. I could hear every prayer, but I couldn't understand, Why a world so beautiful could hurt the way it can. I watched the people struggle, watched them laugh, watched them cry, And for the first time ever, I was terrified to die. I learned what hunger was, I learned what anger meant, Learned that love could feel like heaven, then leave you broken again. I made mistakes, said some words that I couldn't take back, Found forgiveness in a stranger when my own faith went black. I learned that every moment has a price you can't see, And sometimes losing everything teaches you what you need. Heaven had perfection, but Earth gave me a choice— And for the first time in eternity, I had my own voice. [Hook] Broken wings, but I learned to fly, Lost my heaven, found my life. Fell from grace, but found my way, If I must die, I'll live today. [Verse 2] Then one night the heavens opened like a curtain in the rain, And I heard the voice of God calling out my name. Said, “You've learned enough, child, your journey is complete, Come back to where you came from, come and rest beneath My feet.” I looked up at the heavens, but I couldn't say goodbye, 'Cause I'd learned to love the sunrise, learned the meaning of a life. I had people that I loved, had memories I could keep, Had a heart that could get broken and still choose to beat. I said, “I know eternal life is waiting at the door, But I've never been this alive in all the years before. I don't want perfection if it means I can't decide, I want laughter, I want heartbreak, I want someone by my side. Let me stay here a little longer, let me walk this road, Let me carry all the weight that every human soul must hold.” And Heaven went silent, like the stars forgot to shine— Then I heard God say, “Alright. The choice is finally mine.” [Hook] Broken wings, but I learned to fly, Lost my heaven, found my life. Fell from grace, but found my way, If I must die, I'll live today. [Verse 3] The light disappeared from my hands in a second, No more power, no protection, no divine intervention. No healing every wound, no knowing what's ahead, No hearing every prayer, no immortality in my chest. God said, “You wanted humanity? Then humanity you'll be. No more angel wings to carry you when you flee. You'll make your own decisions, you'll live with what they bring, And when your mortal life is over, you'll be judged for everything.” I stood there in the darkness, but I wasn't afraid, For the first time every choice was completely mine to make. I could choose to love or hate, to forgive or deceive, Could become the man I wanted or become what I believed. No heavenly advantage, no shortcut through the pain, Just a fragile human body standing underneath the rain. And somewhere in the distance, I could almost hear Him say, “You wanted to live like them… now live with every choice you make.” So I walked into the city with my broken wings behind me, Not an angel anymore, but maybe that's what finally freed me. I don't know where this road ends, I don't know what's waiting there, But if death is the price of living, I'll accept the final fare. Maybe Heaven isn't something that you're guaranteed to see, Maybe Heaven means becoming who you choose yourself to be. And when my final breath comes, whatever waits beyond— I'll know I wasn't immortal… I was alive. [Hook] Broken wings, but I learned to fly, Lost my heaven, found my life. Fell from grace, but found my way, If I must die, I'll live today.
