Lyrics:
"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"
