Paper Angels

After every day-after-Thanksgiving sale the malls just ain't completeWithout a bunch of decorations and a paper angel treeThere's artificial smiles on artificial tree limbsSaying what she'd love to have and what to buy for himWell i hope Maggie likes her new winter clothes and her buggy with a baby dollAnd maybe Tom'll smile with his new nike shoes when he shoots that basketballI can't help but wishing that i could do moreBut not just while I'm shopping in the department store[Chorus:]Paper angels you're in my thoughts and prayersNo matter where you are right now remember God's right thereHe's asking all of us to help take careOf his paper angels everywhereGoing through the mail almost every afternoon i see a Mom and Dad's Worst dreamThere on the back of a money-saving ad to get my carpet cleanedHeight, weight, hair, eyes, date missing, and DOBA child's name, a picture, and the words 'have you seen me?[Chorus:]Paper angels you're in my thoughts and prayersNo matter where you are right now remember God's right thereHe's asking all of us to help take careOf his paper angels everywhereHis documented bruises fill a folder fileShe's a second grade self-portrait drawn without a smileAnd every town is littered with this kind of debrisWe've got to stop this madness and it's up to you and me[Chorus:]Paper angels you're in my thoughts and prayersNo matter where you are right now remember God's right thereHe's asking all of us to help take careOf his paper angels everywherePaper angels everywhere
