Paper Wings & Halo Lyrics - Lori Mckenna

"Mary is an angel," says a 5-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 5-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"
