[00:22.18]I am the elder Utah Smith
[00:25.10]I've got two wings to fly
[00:27.89]They may be made of paper
[00:30.12]They may never reach the sky
[00:33.52]But I believe in mercy
[00:35.87]I believe that man is good
[00:39.20]And if they want two wings like me
[00:41.82]There's a chance they could
[00:45.80]I am the elder Utah Smith
[00:48.37]I was born in Cedar Grove
[00:51.29]That's in Louisiana
[00:53.75]On a dirt-poor stretch of road
[00:56.88]I found the calling early
[00:59.55]Gave birth to righteous words
[01:02.26]And in a tent around the South
[01:05.41]I took my sonic church
[01:08.80]I was a light for the living
[01:11.77]And I spoke of peace and love
[01:14.56]With two wings and my old Gibson
[01:17.32]I bought blessings from above
[01:20.60]I was here and I was gone
[01:22.84]Just a heartbeat from the past
[01:25.52]But I went from paper wings
[01:28.31]To the real thing at last
[01:32.94]I am the elder Utah Smith
[01:35.84]I take all as they are
[01:38.66]I was the first man of the cloth
[01:41.42]To blacken a guitar
[01:44.36]Love was my redeemer
[01:46.90]I felt it from the start
[01:49.78]The Holy Ghost was channeled
[01:52.60]Through the sound of my guitar
[01:55.82]I was a light for the living
[01:59.22]And I spoke of peace and love
[02:01.74]With two wings and my old Gibson
[02:04.72]I bought blessings from above
[02:07.32]I was here and I was gone
[02:10.13]Just a heartbeat from the past
[02:13.26]But I went from paper wings
[02:15.82]To the real thing at last
[02:42.83]Been a long time in the ground
[02:45.64]Unmarked is my grave
[02:48.44]But I reside elsewhere these days
[02:51.18]Thanks to souls I've saved
[02:54.80]I traveled far, I traveled wide
[02:56.96]Three quarts for the Lord
[02:59.69]Till one day he called me home
[03:02.26]To claim his great reward
[03:05.55]I was a light for the living
[03:08.73]And I spoke of peace and love
[03:11.41]With two wings and my old GIbson
[03:14.15]I bought blessings from above
[03:16.92]I was here and I was gone
[03:19.68]Just a heartbeat from the past
[03:22.77]But I went from paper wings
[03:25.45]To the real thing at last
[03:29.50]I was a light for the living
[03:32.24]And I spoke of peace and love
[03:34.98]With two wings and my old GIbson
[03:37.79]I bought blessings from above
[03:40.63]I was here and I was gone
[03:43.31]Just a heartbeat from the past
[03:46.40]But I went from paper wings
[03:49.14]To the real thing at last
