how about a thread of quotes, poems and other stuff about angels?
:)


"Angels don’t need thanks; it’s their job to help us. But it’s good to show them gratitude for being with us through good times and bad. Learn to say ‘Thank you angel!’ no matter what the outcome."

Lyrics :

I need a sign to let me know you’re here
All of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphere
I need to know that things are gonna look up
Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup
When there is no place safe and no safe place to put my head
When you can feel the world shake from the words that I said

And I’m calling all angels
And I’m calling all you angels

And I won’t give up if you don’t give up
I won’t give up if you don’t give up
I won’t give up if you don’t give up
I won’t give up if you don’t give up

I need a sign to let me know you’re here
Cause my tv set just keeps it all from being clear
I want a reason for the way things have to be
I need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me

And I’m calling all angels
And I’m calling all you angels

When children have to play inside so they don’t disappear
While private eyes solve marriage lies cause we dont talk for years
And football teams are kissing queens and losing sight of having dreams
In a world where all we want is only what we want untill it’s ours

And I’m calling all angels
And I’m calling all you angels
And I’m calling all angels
(I won’t give up if you don’t give up)
And I’m calling all you angels
(I won’t give up if you don’t give up)
Calling all you angels
(I won’t give up if you don’t give up)
Calling all you angels
(I won’t give up if you don’t give up)
Calling all you angels

Angel by Sarah McLachlan

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance,
For the break that will make it okay.
There’s always some reason to feel not good enough,
And it’s hard at the end of the day.
I need some distraction or a beautiful release,
Memories seep from my veins.
Let me be empty and weightless and maybe,
I’ll find some peace tonight.
In the arms of the angel far away from here,
From this dark, cold hotel room and the endlessness that you feel.
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie,
You’re in the arms of the angel, may you find some comfort here.
So tired of the straight line and everywhere you turn,
There’s vultures and thieves at your back.
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies,
That make up for all that you lack.
It don’t make no difference, escape one last time,
It’s easier to believe.
In this sweet madness, oh, this glorious sadness,
That brings me to my knees.
Chorus
In the arms of the angel, may you find some comfort here...

Live - Lightening Crashes from Throwing Copper

Lightning crashes, a new mother cries
her placenta falls to the floor
the angel opens her eyes
the confussion sets in
before the doctor can even close the door

lightning crashes, an old mother dies
her intentions fall to the floor
the angel closes her eyes
the confusion that was hers
belongs now, to the baby down the hall

oh now feel it comin' back again
like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
forces pullin' from the center of the earth
again
i can feel it.

lightning crashes, a new mother cries
this moment she's been waiting for
the angel opens her eyes
pale blue colored iris, presents the circle
and puts glory out to hide, hide
