Verse 1:
Things, riches, they can be replaced
People, they can't be replaced
Some say the life we live is the game we play

Verse 2:
Braids, guitars, we'd sing every night
Fields, flowers, it all felt so right
When one fell down
I'd be there lifting them up
Those hands holding the feathers of
Chorus 1:
My wings
Three brothers running with the breeze
Never thought they'd be running from me
Verse 3:
Fights, crying, we'd all disagree

Chorus 2:

Ending:
In my
In my
Come and I'll wrap you in my
Wings
