When The Fallen Angels Fly
Patty Loveless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just to reach the other side
I near drowned myself in freedom
Just to feed my foolish pride
On my journey through the darkness
I have finally seen the light
I know no one's ever loved me
Like you're loving me tonight
There is something I must tell you
I wonder if you'll understand
How I found such worldly pleasures
In the arms of other men
You should never try to judge me
We have both been wrong and right
But I know no one's ever loved me
Like you're loving me tonight
God will save His fallen angels
And their broken wings He'll mend
When He draws their hearts together
And they learn to love again
All their sins will be forgiven
In the twinkle of an eye
All the saints rejoice in Heaven
When the fallen angels fly
God will save His fallen angels
And their broken wings He'll mend
When He draws their hearts together
And they learn to love again
All their sins will be forgiven
In the twinkle of an eye
All the saints rejoice in Heaven
When the fallen angels fly
When the fallen angels fly
When the fallen angels fly
All the saints rejoice in heaven
When the fallen angels fly

I have climbed so many mountains
I've overcome many challenges to reach my goals
Just to reach the other side
Just to succeed and attain what I was striving for
I near drowned myself in freedom
I've made reckless choices in the name of independence
Just to feed my foolish pride
Simply to appease my own ego
On my journey through the darkness
Throughout my struggles
I have finally seen the light
I've gained understanding and knowledge
I know no one's ever loved me
I've never felt the kind of love that's being shown to me now
Like you're loving me tonight
It's a love that's unique and special
There is something I must tell you
I need to reveal something to you
I wonder if you'll understand
I'm unsure of how you'll react
How I found such worldly pleasures
How I pursued temporary worldly delights
In the arms of other men
Through relationships with other males
You should never try to judge me
You shouldn't condemn me for my past actions
We have both been wrong and right
We've both made mistakes and good choices
God will save His fallen angels
God will redeem those who have sinned
And their broken wings He'll mend
He'll restore and heal their damaged souls
When He draws their hearts together
When God unites them in love
And they learn to love again
And they rediscover the power of love
All their sins will be forgiven
Their wrongdoings will be absolved
In the twinkle of an eye
In a sudden and miraculous way
All the saints rejoice in Heaven
The holy celebrate in paradise
When the fallen angels fly
When those who have sinned are redeemed and renewed
When the fallen angels fly
When redemption and renewal occurs
All the saints rejoice in heaven
The holy celebrate in paradise
When the fallen angels fly
When those who have sinned are redeemed and renewed
