| I 've Seen Angels Cry |
 |
| I have always thought that angels wore halos and wings of white But now I find they wear hard hats and black coats with yellow stripes And angels, in my mind, wore long flowing gowns of white But now I see dark pants and shirts and badges shining bright above the ground Not true! For they wear steel toed boots and go where death is found Not all angels have smooth hands that look like porcelain Some angels have torn gloves and cuts and burns upon their skin And while I thought all angels glowed from heavens light I see an angel cutting steel his torch is shining bright And while these earthly angels passed buckets of debris The angels up in heaven looked down on bended knee So while the smoke continued to rise into the sky I watched the rescue workers weep I've seen the angels cry Author Unknown |
