Lyrics I've Got 2 Wings - Elton John
I
am
the
elder
Utah
Smith
I've
got
two
wings
to
fly
They
may
be
made
of
paper
They
may
never
reach
the
sky
But
I
believe
in
mercy
I
believe
that
man
is
good
And
if
they
want
two
wings
like
me
There's
a
chance
they
could
I
am
the
elder
Utah
Smith
I
was
born
in
Cedar
Grove
That's
in
Louisiana
On
a
dirt-poor
stretch
of
road
I
found
the
calling
early
Gave
birth
to
righteous
words
And
in
a
tent
around
the
South
I
took
my
sonic
church
I
was
a
light
for
the
living
And
I
spoke
of
peace
and
love
With
two
wings
and
my
old
Gibson
I
bought
blessings
from
above
I
was
here
and
I
was
gone
Just
a
heartbeat
from
the
past
But
I
went
from
paper
wings
To
the
real
thing
at
last
I
am
the
elder
Utah
Smith
I
take
all
as
they
are
I
was
the
first
man
of
the
cloth
To
blacken
a
guitar
Love
was
my
redeemer
I
felt
it
from
the
start
The
Holy
Ghost
was
channeled
Through
the
sound
of
my
guitar
I
was
a
light
for
the
living
And
I
spoke
of
peace
and
love
With
two
wings
and
my
old
Gibson
I
bought
blessings
from
above
I
was
here
and
I
was
gone
Just
a
heartbeat
from
the
past
But
I
went
from
paper
wings
To
the
real
thing
at
last
Been
a
long
time
in
the
ground
Unmarked
is
my
grave
But
I
reside
elsewhere
these
days
Thanks
to
souls
I've
saved
I
traveled
far,
I
traveled
wide
Three
quarts
for
the
Lord
'Til
one
day
he
called
me
home
To
claim
his
great
reward
I
was
a
light
for
the
living
And
I
spoke
of
peace
and
love
With
two
wings
and
my
old
Gibson
I
bought
blessings
from
above
I
was
here
and
I
was
gone
Just
a
heartbeat
from
the
past
But
I
went
from
paper
wings
To
the
real
thing
at
last
I
was
a
light
for
the
living
And
I
spoke
of
peace
and
love
With
two
wings
and
my
old
Gibson
I
bought
blessings
from
above
I
was
here
and
I
was
gone
Just
a
heartbeat
from
the
past
But
I
went
from
paper
wings
To
the
real
thing
at
last
