Lyrics:
Every young gun has their fun
The brightest star burns half as long
Who knows why the good die young?
I wonder where you’ve gone
Could’ve been gone tomorrow
Could’ve walked through the sorrow
But you left us singing
Heal the pain (ooh)
We’re all angels in chains (ooh)
Looking back the aftermath, still burning from the fame
We say goodbye, it’s time to heal the pain
George your faith will never end (you gotta have faith)
Father figure, brother, friend (understand me)
Little boy dying to belong
I wonder where you’ve gone
The world can be cold and cruel
A gentleman but not a fool
Left us singing
Heal the pain (ooh)
We’re all angels in chains (ooh)
Looking back the aftermath, still burning from the fame
We say goodbye, to a star tonight, it’s time to heal
Something you came to teach us
Is love will always reach us in the end
Heal the pain (heal the pain)
We’re all angels in chains (angels in chains)
You’re not to blame (heal the pain)
We’re all angels in chains (ooh)
Looking back the fun we had
It’s freedom that you gave (freedom)
Say goodbye, you’re a star tonight
It’s time to heal the pain
