there’s a man standing on the corner
with a sign saying ‘will work for food’
you know the man you see him every morning
the one you never give your money to
you can sit there with your window rolled up
wondering when the lights going to turn green
never knowing what a couple more bucks
in his pocket might mean
what if he’s an angel sent here from heaven
and he’s making certain that you’re doing your best
to take the time to help one another
brother are you going to pass that test
you can go on with your day to day
trying to forget what you saw in his face
knowing deep down it could have been his saving grace
what if he’s an angel
there’s a man and there’s a woman
living right above you in apartment g
there’s a lot of noise coming through the ceiling
and it don’t sound like harmony
you can sit there with your tv turned up
while the words and his anger fly
but come tomorrow when you see her with her shades on
can you look her in the eye
what if she’s an angel sent here from heaven
and she’s making certain that you’re doing your best
to take the time to help one another
brother are you going to pass that test
you can go on with your day to day
trying to forget what you saw in her face
knowing deep down it could have been her saving grace
but what if she’s an angel
a little girl on daddy’s lap
hiding her disease with a baseball cap
you can turn the channel most people do
but what if you were sitting in her daddy’s shoes
maybe she’s an angel sent here from heaven
and she’s making certain that you’re doing your best
to take the time to help one another
brother are you going to pass that test
you can go on with your day to day
trying to forget what you saw in her face
knowing deep down it could have been her saving grace
what if she’s an angel
