Sanoja: Randy Travis. 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 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 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 site
Well you missed the most obvious thing
Man, are you blind? Just look in your mothers 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 thank God you were whole
Son you outta know who loved you first, that's right
And who always came running every time 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 nights did she leave on the light
While she waited and prayed that you came in
And who'd be there for you right up to the end think about it tonight
Are you telling me that 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
Ah man, are you blind? Just look in your mothers eyes
Ah man, are you blind? Just look in your mothers eyes, well that's right
