I’ve known an angel here and there
They’ve helped me in my deep despair
Some angels did get left behind
Another goal they chose to find.
They fell from grace in record time
Their wings were clipped and edged with grime
Their deeds of good did fade away
Their faces bright turned dull and gray.
I’ve seen a few and touched their wings
But shy away from evil things
God saw their work and turned His face
He would not help those in disgrace.
They lost their good and all their mirth
And fell from heaven to the earth
Their tales of weakness followed here
Too soon they will all disappear !
