Angels Crying Out

Do you hear the angels?
Can you see their light?
Or can you not hear
Watching the bombs blast bright?

Can you hear the children singing
Or are they just crying out?
Can you dream of tomorrow
Or is there too much to doubt?

I can hear the angels
I can see their light
In the brave smile of a stranger
As we cower in the shelter through the night

I can start the children singing
Make there not so much to doubt
Even with the darkness surrounding us
The light of the children singing can get us out

The children are like angels
Can't you see the light?
As the bombs go off around them
Their souls fly away in the night

And those of us who live
Those who make it out
Wonder why they survived instead
And mourn and cry and shout

The children join the angels
And they send down their light
And try to keep everyone safe
As the bombs blast on through the night

As war continues to surround us
We wonder how we'll ever make it out
And pray to be spared
But feel such doubt

One way or another it will end
We will all join the angels some day and get that light
But maybe, just maybe
It won't have to be tonight
