Angels

Me and some of the boys
Were sitting around the other night
Started talking about politics, religion
Love of 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 somthing I can see or something I can touch
Hell, 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
No halo in sight
Well, you 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
Son, you oughta know who loved you first.

That's right.

And who always came runnin'
Evertime you cried out
And how many more things have you forgotten about
And who tried their best
To teach you wrong from right
And how many night
Did she leave on the light
While she waited and prayed
Till you came in?
And who'll be there for ya
Right up to the end.

Think about it man.

Are you telling me
You've never seen an angel
Never felt the presemce
Of one standing by
No robe of white
No holo in sight
Well. you missed the most obvious thing
Ah, man are you blind
Just look in your mother's eyes.

Ah, man are you blind
Just look un your mother's eyes.

That's right...
