Going through this life looking for angels
|
People passing by looking for angels
|
|
Walk this world alone try to stay on my feet
|
|
Sometimes crawl, fall, but I stand up cause I'm afraid to sleep
|
And open my eyes to a new day, with all new problems, and all new pain
|
All the faces are filled with so much anger
|
Losing our dignity and hope from fear of danger
|
After all the wars, after settling the scores, at the break of dawn we will be deaf to the answers
|
|
There's so much bigotry, misunderstanding and fear
|
With eyes squinted and fists clinched we reach out for what is dear
|
We want it we want
|
We want a reason to live
|
We're on a pilgrimage
|
A crusade for hope
|
Cause in our hearts and minds and souls we know
|
We need it we need
|
We need more than this
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Going through this life looking for angels
|
People passing by looking for angels
|
|
Walking down the streets looking for angels
|
Everyone I meet looking for angels
|
|
So many nations with so many hungry people
|
So many homeless scrounging around for dirty needles
|
On the rise, teen suicide, when we will realize
|
we've been desensitized by the lies of the world
|
We're oppressed and impressed by the greedy
|
Whose hands squeeze the life out of the needy
|
When will we learn that wars, threats, and regrets are the cause and effect of living in fear
|
|
Who can help protect the innocence of our children
|
Stolen on the internet with images they can't forget
|
We want it we want
|
We want a reason to live
|
We represent a generation that wants to turn back a nation
|
To let love be our light and salvation
|
We need it we need
|
We need more than this
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
|
I became a savior to some kids I'll never meet
|
Sent a check in the mail to buy them something to eat
|
What will you do to make a difference, to make a change?
|
|
What will you do to help someone along the way?
|
Just a touch, a smile as you turn the other cheek
|
Pray for your enemies, humble yourself, love's staring back at me
|
In the midst of the most painful faces
|
Angels show up in the strangest of places
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]x3
