Looking For Angels
Track
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 clinched 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
'Cause in our hearts and minds and souls we know
We need it we need
We need more than this
Chorus:
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
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
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 clinched we reach out for what is dear
We want it we want
We want a reason to live

This song speaks the truth
At first, I thought when I heard this song, "Oh great, a song with little actual music," when it got to the "Walk this world alone try to stay on my feet," part. But then I started to actually listen to the song, and all I have to say is this, BEST SONG EVER!!!
"Angels show up in the strangest of places." So true
people i know are dying rapidly at the age of 20 my friend died and then i thought of this song even though i didn't even know about skillet or the song. then i heard this song and went into tears of pain, regret, and hope to stop terrorising the planet. this day i put my hand on my heart and i say " god help us we are in need of hope, trust, no criminal minds trying to put an end to the people we love most, we all have a dark side. like me, i'm my own worst enemy. i need help to stop hating myself. i think everthings my fault. i hear beautiful things about nasty people and nasty things about beautiful people if a hero can give me some advice like a god to me that would really help alot
i showd my freind this and he started crying... saying it was tru wat it says
this is a great song it really tells the truth no beatin around the bush
this song is just so truthful
ya see, this is why i love skillet. they can be hard rockers or slow writers that can put u into tears.
this is a beautiful song. GO SKILLET!!!!!!!!
amaziing
Great message, i wonder how manny people got saved 'cause of this song? I love skillet and this is one of the greats!
Truly beautiful...This song has changed my perspective on life, and taught me that love and compassion, not violence and self-righteousness, is the cure for this comatose world. Amazing message, great musical qualities...I think I may have found a new favorite among Skillet's greats!
"I became a savior to some kids Ill never meet" ... you can"t even imagine at which point this phrase is true !!
skillet are saviors to me just through their songs !!
