What would an angel do?
If modern day angels were here on earth
Would she walk the catwalk
Would she rule the world
Would she simply be
Just one of the girls
Would she have your baby
Would she be on show
Would she be a soldier in a holy war
Would she be a nun
And help the poor
Would she help the homeless
On the forgotten boulevard
Would she sell her soul
To make it rich
Would she call out the selfish
As a scheming bitch
In better hands
Would she know more
Lord please forgive me
We choose who we are
Before we arrive
Either live for yourself
Or for humankind
What is your message here on earth
I’ll be the last
You’ll be the first
God is not in the business of keeping your lies
God is not in the business of helping your spies
And in God’s economy
The angels love me
And in God’s economy
No one is above me
For the last will be the first
And the least will be the most
Here on earth
You don’t know their worth
Yesterday is not what it used to be
What is left to save
I chose the heavens
She chose the earth
I chose the stars
She chose the dirt
Now I wonder
If this is all I am worth
Who made you judge
Who made you jury
Are you self-appointed
By jealousy
Angels have no soul mates
Because love can destroy the soul
Give me food for my mind
Peace for my soul
I don’t have it in me
To be anything more
Than what God made me to be
A sun-kissed smile
Baby just walk a mile
Try to remember me
As I never was
There are things that even
Angels don’t know
I listen to them daily
They whisper in my ear
They know every last day
Every last fear
