"When The Angels Sing" lyrics
(originally by Social Distortion)
At last we meet again, dear God
When the angels sing
The funerals are nicer, when we know you're there
And the angels sing
Sometimes I try so hard
To understand the things you do
Who am I to question You
When it all comes down?
Hear the angels sing
Stand up strong
Feel the pain
When the angels sing
Life and death
Don't mean a thing
Till the angels sing
The prisoners pray when they're on death row
When the angels sing
The junkie cries for love, but it's all run out
When the angels sing
The sins of the world
And it's cold on the streets
And you're all alone
And the tears, they start to fall
When it all comes down
Hear the angels sing
Stand up strong
Feel the pain
When the angels sing
Life and death
Don't mean a thing
Till the angels sing
Little by little
Day by day
Watch the children play
'Cause life and death
Don't mean a thing
Till the angels sing
When the angel of death
Comes looking for me
Hear the angels sing
I hope I was everything
I was supposed to be
When the angels sing
There's gotta be a heaven
'Cause I've already done
My time in hell
And a little baby is born
When it all comes down
Hear the angels sing
Stand up strong
Feel the pain
When the angels sing
Life and death
Don't mean a thing
Till the angels sing
Little by little
Day by day
Watch the children play
'Cause life and death
Don't mean a thing
Till the angels sing
When the angels sing
The funerals are nicer, when we know you're there
And the angels sing
Sometimes I try so hard
To understand the things you do
Who am I to question You
When it all comes down?
Hear the angels sing
Stand up strong
Feel the pain
When the angels sing
Life and death
Don't mean a thing
Till the angels sing
The prisoners pray when they're on death row
When the angels sing
The junkie cries for love, but it's all run out
When the angels sing
The sins of the world
And it's cold on the streets
And you're all alone
And the tears, they start to fall
When it all comes down
Hear the angels sing
Stand up strong
Feel the pain
When the angels sing
Life and death
Don't mean a thing
Till the angels sing
Little by little
Day by day
Watch the children play
'Cause life and death
Don't mean a thing
Till the angels sing
When the angel of death
Comes looking for me
Hear the angels sing
I hope I was everything
I was supposed to be
When the angels sing
There's gotta be a heaven
'Cause I've already done
My time in hell
And a little baby is born
When it all comes down
Hear the angels sing
Stand up strong
Feel the pain
When the angels sing
Life and death
Don't mean a thing
Till the angels sing
Little by little
Day by day
Watch the children play
'Cause life and death
Don't mean a thing
Till the angels sing
