Angels

Angels Me and some of the boys were sitting around the other night Started talking about politics, religion, love and life And what a shame it was about 9-11 and what about hell and what about heaven And is there or isn?t there angels here on earth And then one guy said, well you can take that for what it?s worth If it?s something I can see or something I can touch Well then I might believe in all that stuff So I just had to say to him Are you telling me you?ve never seen an angel? Never felt the presence of one standing by No robe of white or halo in sight Well you?ve missed the most obvious thing Man are you blind, just look in your mother?s eyes And then I said who went through the pain and smiled through the tears on the day of your birth She counted your fingers and toes and thanked God you were whole And son you ought to know who loved you first, that?s right Who always came running every time you cried out And how many more things have you forgotten about Who tried her best to teach you wrong from right And how many nights did she leave on the light While she waited and prayed until you came in And who?ll be there for you right up to the end Think about it now
