“Angels” is one of those songs that feels like a warm, reassuring hand on your shoulder. It speaks to the human heart’s longing for comfort, especially during life’s toughest moments. There’s something uniquely beautiful about the way it captures the essence of unseen protection and guidance – the kind of support that isn’t always tangible but is always felt. When you listen to “Angels,” it’s as if someone is whispering, “You’re not alone, there’s someone watching over you.”
The lyrics wrap around you with an almost tender care, blending the idea of hope with a bit of mystery. It’s as though the songwriter is hinting at something we all sense but rarely put into words: that even in our most solitary times, we might just have silent guardians walking with us. The song evokes this quiet strength, creating a sanctuary of sound where anyone who’s ever needed a little faith or reassurance can feel understood. It resonates with the heart’s unspoken belief in something bigger than ourselves.
For many, “Angels” isn’t just a song—it’s a gentle reminder. It’s a bit like hearing the voice of someone you’ve lost or feeling the presence of a loved one long gone. It gives people the courage to keep going, knowing that there’s something, or someone, looking out for them. With a simple melody and heartfelt lyrics, it reaches a place that words alone sometimes can’t touch. Listening to it feels like an embrace from the very concept of hope itself

Lyrics
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 that 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 site
Well you missed the most obvious thing
Aw man, are you blind?
Just look in your mothers eyes
Aw man, are you blind?
Just look in your mothers eyes
That’s right
