Paul Willis - Black Angels (feat. Citrus) Lyrics

Shine for what you are, your star is not spangled
What's heaven for black angels
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
Black on both sides, brown from every angle
What's heaven for black angels
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)

We're an amalgamation of stars and saints
Feel a rich texture in these bars I paint
I'm Black like the universe
Brown when I bow down to kiss the earth
I know my worth, but some seem to forget
So I'll spread this love when you feel ill-equipped
Memories of a history, we share it like this
Gotta protect the earth so our seeds can exist
They reminisce over loved ones far and wide
We keep your spirit alive (May your legacy never die)
I cried the day that Black Lives Mattered
Look at how many have died since
See how the dream dried up like a raisin in the sun
Look at how many have tried since
Maybe you've shied, or tried to hide, now it's time to fly
Black angels, it's time to shine, it's time to shine

If you got your wings clipped, Come on and sing this
What's heaven for black angels
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
Black on both sides, brown from every angle
What's heaven for black angels
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)

Feeling so low
With no place to go
Looking up to the sky
I'll find my way back home oh
Take these wings and fly
I notice in your eye
Don't cry, this tear is mine
Have no fear, this is time
You'll find you
What you need
You're right here with me
Take me up high
Way way up way past the sky
Cause we're so fly, fly fly

If you got your wings clipped, Come on and sing this
What's heaven for black angels
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
Black on both sides, brown from every angle
What's heaven for black angels
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)

If you got your wings clipped, Come on and sing this
What's heaven for black angels
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
Black on both sides, brown from every angle
What's heaven for black angels
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
