Heavenly One
The first mortal man
Has arrived unwilling
Yet remains a broken
Able man
He walks endlessly lost
Heaven's path --crying
Where is my forgiveness
Please forgive me --Able
Please forgive me --Able
Seraphim whisper Holy Father
Your first resident
Is truly unique this Able man
Died young, has risen as an old soul
It is so sad, Father
All heaven's spirits see
He sleeps with two legs
But walks with three
This child of man seems
Un- Able to forgive
It may well take eternity
For his love to relive
It is so sad, Father
All heaven's spirits see
He sleeps with two legs
But walks with three
Cherubim say
He seems eternally lost
To give answer
To his brothers prayers
We know he is Able
Hearing
Please forgive me --Able
Please forgive me --Able
Even if it takes forever
All of Heaven will watch
Hoping
He will be Able to cry out
His brothers forgiveness
It is so sad, Father
All heaven's spirits see
He sleeps with two legs
But walks with three
There is hope as
Able now asks
You Angels say
I sleep with two legs
And walk with three
Tell me -
What am I
