[Skillet - Looking for Angels lyrics]
Going through this life looking for angels
People passing by, looking for angels
Walk this world alone try to stay on my feet
Sometimes crawl, fall
But I stand up 'cause I'm afraid to sleep
And open my eyes to a new day
With all new problems and all new pain
All the faces are filled with so much anger
Losing our dignity and hope
From fear of danger
After all the wars, after settling the scores
At the break of dawn we will
Be deaf to the answers
There's so much bigotry
Misunderstanding and fear
With eyes squinted and fists clenched we
Reach out for what is dear
(We want it, we want
We want a reason to live)
We're on a pilgrimage a crusade for hope
Because in our hearts and minds
And souls we know (We need it, we need
We need more than this)
Going through this life looking for angels
People passing by, looking for angels
Walking down the streets looking for angels
Everyone I meet looking for angels
So many nations with so many hungry people
So many homeless scrounging around
For dirty needles on the rise, teen suicide
When we will realize
We've been desensitized by the
Lies of the world
We're oppressed and impressed by the greedy
Whose hands squeeze the life out of the needy
When will we learn that wars, threats
And regrets
Are the cause and effect of living in fear
Who can help protect the
Innocence of our children
Stolen on the internet with
Images they can't forget
(We want it, we want
We want a reason to live)
We represent a generation that wants
To turn back a nation
To let love be our light and salvation
(We need it, we need we need more than this)
Going through this life looking for angels
People passing by, looking for angels
Walking down the streets looking for angels
Everyone I meet looking for angels
I became a savior to some
Kids I'll never meet
Sent a check in the mail to
Buy them something to eat
What will you do to make a difference
To make a change? What will you do to help
Someone along the way? Just a touch
A smile as you turn the other cheek
Pray for your enemies, humble yourself
Love's staring back at me
In the midst of the most painful faces
Angels show up in the strangest of places
Going through this life looking for angels
People passing by, looking for angels
Walking down the streets looking for angels
Everyone I meet looking for angels
Going through this life looking for angels
People passing by, looking for angels
Walking down the streets looking for angels
Everyone I meet looking for angels
Going through this life looking for angels
People passing by, looking for angels
Walking down the streets looking for angels
Everyone I meet looking for angels
People passing by, looking for angels
Walk this world alone try to stay on my feet
Sometimes crawl, fall
But I stand up 'cause I'm afraid to sleep
And open my eyes to a new day
With all new problems and all new pain
All the faces are filled with so much anger
Losing our dignity and hope
From fear of danger
After all the wars, after settling the scores
At the break of dawn we will
Be deaf to the answers
There's so much bigotry
Misunderstanding and fear
With eyes squinted and fists clenched we
Reach out for what is dear
(We want it, we want
We want a reason to live)
We're on a pilgrimage a crusade for hope
Because in our hearts and minds
And souls we know (We need it, we need
We need more than this)
Going through this life looking for angels
People passing by, looking for angels
Walking down the streets looking for angels
Everyone I meet looking for angels

So many homeless scrounging around

Walking down the streets looking for angels
Everyone I meet looking for angels
