My mother said, "There's only one way"
A sweet angel boy, narrow and straight
Timin' his past, teachings they fade
Now their angel boy has gone astrayI've felt the hand of the devil, felt his breath on my skin
Dip me into the water, wash me again
Can I still be forgiven for all of these things
Or have I gone too far now?
Have I lost my wings?I found a priest, I spoke my mind
Asked if I'd sinned, one too many times
He said "My son, you're only a man"
Then I said, "Sir, you don't understand"I've felt the hand of the devil, felt his breath on my skin
Dip me into the water, wash me again
Can I still be forgiven for all of these things
Or have I gone too far now?
Have I lost my wings?God help us all, for what we have done
We've lost our way, we can't find the son
We make our beds, we seal our fate
Is there still time or is it too late?We've felt the hand of the devil, felt his breath our my skin
Dip us into the water, wash us again
Can we still be forgiven for all of these things
Or have we gone too far now?
Have we lost our wings?We've felt the hand of the devil, felt his breath our my skin
Dip us into the water, wash us again
Can we still be forgiven for all of these things
Or have we gone too far now?
Have we lost our wings?
Have we lost our wings?
