Angels (2008, 2014)

The summer air cut deep In the skin on me that couldn't stand the heat So I walked up to the door But I shouldn't have been walking on all fours Then a man let me inside Then whispered something I couldn't reason with, though I tried He said "you'll live life without pride if you live life without an angel by your side" Oh, all that I thought Is that I don't want to try And try to think a lot Oh, all that I thought Is maybe what I have Is better than what I have not The winter air cut deep In the skin on me that couldn't stand the cold But, still, I walked up to the door I thought I shouldn't have been walking on all fours Then an angel sang out! They didn't really know much more And that the way I'm walking is what my arms are for I didn't pay attention and saw a deer glide by outside I think I heard that self sufficiency is worth more than pride Oh, all that I thought Is that I don't want to try And try to think a lot Oh, all that I thought Is maybe what I have Is better than what I have not The city sounds cut deep In the part of my mind that can miss a beat
