I've Seen The Angels Cry

I have always thought that angels wore halos and wings of white

But now I find they wear hard hats and black coats with yellow stripes

And angels, in my mind, wore long flowing gowns of white

But now I see dark pants and shirts and badges shining bright

And angels always floated with bare feet above the ground

Not true! For they wear steel toed boots and go where death is found

Not all angels have smooth hands that look like porcelain

Some angels have torn gloves and cuts and burns upon their skin

And while I thought all angels glowed from heavens light

I see an angel cutting steel, his torch is shining bright

And while these earthly angels pass buckets of debris

The angels up in heaven looked down on bended knee

So while the smoke continued to rise into the sky

I watched the rescue workers weep

I've seen the angels cry
