Lyrics
(African American Spiritual)
Oh Lord I want two wings to cover my face,
Oh Lord, I want two wings to fly away.
Oh Lord I want two wings to cover my face,
So the world can’t do me no harm.
I want two golden shoes to put on my feet,
I want two golden shoes to put on my feet,
I want two golden shoes to put on my feet,
So the world can’t do me no harm.
I want a golden harp to play by myself,
I want a golden harp to play by myself,
I want a golden harp to play by myself,
So the world can’t do me no harm.
