Someone told me there were angels,
And I trusted them too,
They said they were in Heaven,
On earth and in me and you.
They said angels were beautiful;
They said they would shine;
Of course they mentioned the shimmering light in their eyes.
It was hard to believe that there would be angels here,
In a place so violent and full of fear.
The world was so scared to show its true face,
I wouldn’t believe in angels,
Surely they would have tried improving this place.
With that little knowledge I knew it couldn’t be true,
There weren’t any angels,
Not in me and not in you.
As I grew up, you guided me through life,
Protecting me from harm and giving me the love I needed to survive.
I didn’t think there could be any angels,
It just couldn’t be true,
But I look back on my life and I realized,
My angel was you.
