Lookin through my bible, searchin for a song to sing.
Heard a beautiful man done passed away.
And I really wonder why Lord, did you take him from me.
See heaven's the only place that he needs to be.
And I know that you never felt pain, pain like you feel today.
Please remember this when I say, you got a set of wings today.

(Chorus)
Heard ya got your set of wings today, open em up and fly away.
I heard ya got your set of wings today, open em up.
You see the world don't deserve your love no more.
The Lord done opened up Heaven's doors for you.
C'mon, walk on through. Walk on through, yea.

Peaceful, loving, true, and kind.
Was the father friend of mine.
Drinks like funny and keepin it real.
They both were a part of Mr. Hill.
Memories will keep afloat, got a heart so genuine. (So true)
And he's smilin down us on now, said he's smilin down on us now.


(Chorus)
Heard ya got your set of wings today, open em up and fly away.
Heard ya got your set of wings today,
I know you got your set of wings.
See the world don't deserve your love no more.
Lord done opened up Heaven's doors for you, walk on through.
He opened em up for you. Yes he did, gon walk on through.
He opened em up for you.

Dedicated to the loving memory of Mr. Micheal Hill, the Hill family
And any other family that's lost somebody
that they cherished and loved.
Mr. Hill used to always tell me to say "I'm proud of you, boy".
Used to have that smile, that big Koolaid smile. Cool dude man.
We miss you, already, we miss you. Rest in peace.

The world don't deserve your love no more.
The Lord done opened up Heaven's doors for you, walk on through.
Heard ya got your set of wings today, open em up and fly away.
Heard ya got ya set of wings today, open em up and fly away.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
