John Rodak - Angels Lyrics

Everyone's looking for angels but angels are so hard to find
We know where they are
As they drift with the stars
Every now and then getting things right

Everyone's waiting for angels
They seem to have all disappeared
They used to come round for a night on the town
But they haven't been seen here in years

We ask for their help but they don't seem to care
What more could they want than the statues and prayers
The prophets and preachers take more than their share
We lift up our voices - but nobody's there

Once there were thousands of angels
More than we ever could need
We grew up and left home - let our hearts turn to stone
And found something else to believe

The angels remembered that we always forgot
The promises made for the favors we sought
Sooner or later the ride had to stop
Who would believe that the angels would ever give up

The gnashing of teeth as the Devil laid claim
The penance was served but no one was saved
The angels refused to be part of the game
On that highway to heaven we lost our way

The world is not ready for angels
They're not what we want them to be
Someday we will learn if they choose to return
Just how loving an angel can be

How loving an angel can be
