Where Are The Angels
Take a look what’s before you, a look all around
A city of people with lives crumbling down
Pause a moment to listen, a moment to stare
A moment for silence and see if you care
From my window I’ve looked out and tried the same thing
And for a brief time it was inspiring
But the day called me back for my ways were off track
Though I made the note “Pray when there’s time”
And I’m sad to admit that it took quite a bit
Fore I ever remembered that line
But I found it one day, so I knelt down to pray
And I spoke what came first to my mind
Which was, “God send down angels…they’re needed you see”
Then I rose up, for I was behind
And I fully believed God would send down reprieve
So of course I was shocked when by chance
I just happened to gaze from my window above
At the city and its circumstance
“Oh how could this be! Things are worse than before”
Perplexed by this finding I turned to the Lord
And I prayed knowing well that His ear He would lend
“God where are the angels I asked you to send?
The people! They need them, they’re starving, they fail
They are cold, they are homeless, they’re sick and they’re pale”
Then it came like a breeze in the midst of my pleas
T’was a whisper that cut to the core
“I already have angels who sit up above
Behind glass and they simply ignore
Though I’ve given them all, they do stammer and stall
As they tend to their lives and their trade
And few have ere given much time to the thought
What a difference each one could have made”
Then I sank in my chair with my hands in my hair
For the weight of this thought pierced my heart
When I rose I resolved that from then I would try
To go out and act the angel’s part …
Take a look what’s before you, a look all around
This city of people with lives crumbling down
So many who walk to the beat of life’s drum
So many who pray for an angel to come
But none shall they have lest one answers this plea
So come down from the window
An angel you’ll be
