I heard an Angel
I walk alone bearing my burden
Of a life that should never be
What will ever become of me
I deal with others pain and sarrow
Putting mine off till the marrow
I hear the angels cry
'Tis not your day to die
Of this would we lie
The shadows are the deepest grey
In my bed of nails I lays
Dreaming of a better day
When the butterflies flew
And I was alone with you
I hear the angels scream
'Tis not your time to sleep
Today none for you weep
Laughing children point at me
Just a fool for all to see
Not worth the air I breathe
Or the sights I see
Unless they to need me
I hear the angels wail
'Tis you time in hell
When shall you make bail
Whe all is said and done
You all have had your fun
You shall see it was all
A great gift from me
Thats what you'll see
I hear the angels sing
You have acommpished
So many things
