Angels By Randy Travis

Me and some of the boys
Were sitting around the other night
Started talking about politics,religion,love an'life
And what a shame it was about 9-11
And what about Hell and what about Heaven

And is there or isn't there angels here on earth?
And then one guy said,
Well, you can take that for what
It's worth if it's something I can see or something
I can touch. Hell, I might believe in all that stuff,

So, I just had to say to him
Are you telling me you've never seen an angel?
Never felt the presence of one standing by?
No robe of white, no halo in sight?
Well, you missed the most obvious thing
Man are you blind?
Just look in your mother's eyes."

And then I said, "Who went through the pain an' smiled
Through the tears on the day of your birth?
She counted your fingers and toes an' thanked
God you were whole. Son, you oughta know
who loved you first.That's right."

"An who always came runnin' evertime you cried out?
An, how many more things have you forgotten about?
An' who tried their best to teach you wrong from right?
And how many nights did she leave on the light
While she waited and prayed that you came in?
An' who'll be there for you right up to the end?
Think about it tonight."

"Are you telling me you've never seen an angel?
Never felt the presence of one standing by?
No robe of white, no halo in sight
Well, you missed the most ovious thing
Ah, man are you blind?
Just look in your mother's eyes."

"Ah, man are you blind?
Just look in your mother's eyes.
That's right...."
