Song Lyrics
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
Till 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.
