[Verse 1]
I drifted through the gates of gold,
A story waiting to be told,
Caught in heaven's gentle air,
But something darker lingered there.
[Verse 2]
The angel said, "Your time is done,
The book is closed, the race is run."
Yet in my chest, my soul did ache,
For one cruel, fatal, human mistake.
[Chorus]
Send me back, I’ll mend the past,
Right the wrongs, a hero at last.
I’ll trade these wings for mortal pain,
Grant me life to love again.
[Verse 3]
I saw the scene, so clear, so cold,
The way my story had been told.
A careless turn, a word unsaid,
And there I lay, among the dead.
[Bridge]
"You think you're brave, you think you're wise,"
The angel said with tearful eyes.
"But every promise's a heavy weight,
Are you ready to rewrite fate?"
[Chorus]
Send me back, I’ll mend the past,
Right the wrongs, a hero at last.
I’ll trade these wings for mortal pain,
Grant me life to love again.
