After every day-after-Thanksgiving sale the malls just ain't complete
|
Without a bunch of decorations and a paper angel tree
|
There's artificial smiles on artificial tree limbs
|
Saying what she'd love to have and what to buy for him
|
|
Well i hope Maggie likes her new winter clothes and her buggy with a baby doll
|
And maybe Tom'll smile with his new nike shoes when he shoots that basketball
|
I can't help but wishing that i could do more
|
But not just while I'm shopping in the department store
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Paper angels you're in my thoughts and prayers
|
No matter where you are right now remember God's right there
|
He's asking all of us to help take care
|
Of his paper angels everywhere
|
|
Going through the mail almost every afternoon i see a Mom and Dad's
|
Worst dream
|
There on the back of a money-saving ad to get my carpet cleaned
|
Height, weight, hair, eyes, date missing, and DOB
|
A child's name, a picture, and the words 'have you seen me?'
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Paper angels you're in my thoughts and prayers
|
No matter where you are right now remember God's right there
|
He's asking all of us to help take care
|
Of his paper angels everywhere
|
|
His documented bruises fill a folder file
|
She's a second grade self-portrait drawn without a smile
|
And every town is littered with this kind of debris
|
We've got to stop this madness and it's up to you and me
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Paper angels you're in my thoughts and prayers
|
No matter where you are right now remember God's right there
|
He's asking all of us to help take care
|
Of his paper angels everywhere
|
|
Paper angels everywhere
|
