Skillet - Looking For Angels Lyrics
Going through this life looking for angelsPeople passing by looking for angelsWalk this world aloneTry to stay on my feetSometimes crawl, fall,But I stand up cause I'm afraid to sleepOpen my eyes to a new day,With all new problems and all new painAll the faces are filled with so much angerLosing our dignity and hope from fear of dangerAfter all the wars,After settling the scores,At the break of dawn we will be deaf to the answersThere's so much bigotry, misunderstanding and fearWith eyes squinted and fists clinched we reach out for what is dearWe want it we wantWe want a reason to liveWe're on a pilgrimageA crusade for hopeCause in our hearts and minds and souls we knowWe need it we needWe need more than thisGoing through this lifeLooking for angelsPeople passing byLooking for angelsWalking down the streetsLooking for angelsEveryone I meetLooking for angelsSo many nations with so many hungry peopleSo many homeless scrounging around for dirty needlesOn the rise, teen suicide, when we will realizeWe've been desensitized by the lies of the worldWe're oppressed and impressed by the greedyWhose hands squeeze the life out of the needyWhen will we learn that wars, threats, and regrets are the cause and effect of living in fearWho can help protect the innocence of our childrenStolen on the internet with images they can't forgetWe want it we wantWe want a reason to liveWe represent a generation that wants to turn back a nationTo let love be our light and salvationWe need it we needWe need more than thisGoing through this lifeLooking for angelsPeople passing byLooking for angelsWalking down the streetsLooking for angelsEveryone I meetLooking for angelsI became a savior to some kids I'll never meetSent a check in the mail to buy them something to eatWhat will you do to make a difference, to make a change?What will you do to help someone along the way?Just a touch, a smile as you turn the other cheekPray for your enemies, humble yourself, love's staring back at meIn the midst of the most painful facesAngels show up in the strangest of places(Angels show up in the strangest of places)Going through this lifeLooking for angelsPeople passing byLooking for angelsWalking down the streetsLooking for angelsEveryone I meetLooking for angels
