Me and some of the boys were sitting around the other night

Started talking about politics, religion, love and 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

Well I might believe in all that stuff

So I just had to say to him



Are you telling me, that you've never seen an angel?

Never felt the presence of one standing by?

No robe of white

No halo in site

Well you missed the most obvious thing

Man, are you blind?

Just look in your mothers eyes



And then I said who went through the pain 

And smiled through the tears on the day of your birth?

She counted your fingers and toes and thanked god you were whole

Son you outta know who loved you first, that's right

And who always came running everytime you cried out

And how many more things have you forgotten about

And 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

And who'd be there for you right up to the end

Think about it tonight



Are you telling me that 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

Aww Man, are you blind?

Just look in your mothers eyes



Aww Man, are you blind?

Just look in your mothers eyes

That's right
