Skillet - Looking For Angels Lyrics

Send "Looking For Angels" Ringtone to Cell Phone

Going through this life looking for angels 
People passing by 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 
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 

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 

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 

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 
Angels show up in the strangest of places 

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 (3X)
