An angel (who is not Joe)
Doesn't every one have an angel
not to be a lover
but a human undercover
a stranger or
a good friend
who picks you up
when you're too weak to stand?
Doesn't every one have an angel
someone you hardly know
still so connected, though
someone so wise
who can see right through your eyes
and reach into your soul
and make you so complete
so whole?
Doesn't everyone have an angel
black or white
helping you to fight
fight against this life so cruel
angel shining bright
just like a jewel
who gives you advice
a shelter from the lies
from the rain and the pain?
Let me tell you my story
about an angel from reality
he is a dark man
always understands
round the age of 35
just walked into my life
the first time I saw him was on the playground
he just came around
with his sweet little girl
he came to light my world
I remember when he asked me 'are you alright?'
I know I wasn't, but I said 'I'm tight'
and he just saw right through
he understands everything I say
and everything I do
Keep on looking for that angel
not to be a lover
but a human undercover
