Once I was a stranger to the sky
I'd look up from the ground
and block my eyes
Like black smoke in thin air
I tried to be content with what was mine
But my heart was aching all the time
The scars are still there
And hey, every angel has its time
Hey, I'll write when I arrive
Hey, I've come to claim what's mine
In an elevator to the stars
take a long hard look at who you are
If you're unvamiliar
'Cause one day comes
when you must face yourself
Such a waste pretending someone else
Can still fulfill you
And hey, every angel has its time
And hey, I'll write when I arrive
Hey, I've come to claim what's mine
If your motivation's just to win
That's a handsome trap you're standing in
And its jaws can break you
I would never claim I've seen the light
But I heard the truest song tonight
Whose tune can change you
And hey, every angel has its time
And hey, I'll write when I arrive
Hey, I've come to claim what's mine
I've come to claim what's mine
I've come to claim what's mine
I've come to claim what's mine
Once I was a stranger to the sky
I'd look up from the ground
and block my eyes
Like black smoke in thin air
I'd look up from the ground
and block my eyes
Like black smoke in thin air
I tried to be content with what was mine
But my heart was aching all the time
The scars are still there
And hey, every angel has its time
Hey, I'll write when I arrive
Hey, I've come to claim what's mine
In an elevator to the stars
take a long hard look at who you are
If you're unvamiliar
'Cause one day comes

And hey, every angel has its time
And hey, I'll write when I arrive
Hey, I've come to claim what's mine
