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
