Angel In Disguise

album: Safe in a Crazy World (2005)

I woke up this morning feeling kind of blue

and I stumbled out of bed and

dragged my feet across the room

Right outside my front door was a rose

and a note that said 'Somebody Loves You'

Oh~ But out on the street it starts to pour

and before I get soaking wet,

A total stranger runs to give me

the jacket off his back

I turn around to thank him

But he waves me with a smile

And I can hardly believe my eyes

He puts on a halo and starts to fly

Take a look at the ordinary

Don't need to look for Paradise

You could be next to

an angel in disguise

I met a good friend for lunch

and we had a delicious meal

But I forgot to bring my wallet

I felt like an imbecile

But she was sweet, she gave me a treat and

Bought me a chicken sandwich

To take home for tea

Oh~ But out on the street with nothing to eat

A man and his shopping cart go

Travelling to places

Collecting social graces

I give him my sandwich

and we chatter for a while

I see a rainbow wash over his eyes

He gives me his halo and

I start to fly

Take a look at the ordinary

Don't need to look for Paradise

You could be next to

an angel in disguise

Don't try to hide away from me

I know you're by my side

Oooh~~

Take a look at the ordinary

Don't need to look at Paradise

You could be next to

an angel in disguise

Everyday can be legendary

Every minute, an endless surprise

You could be the next angel in disguise

I woke up this morning

Feeling kind of new

Perhaps.... That I've been trying my best to give halos to others and make them fly that I forget that sometimes, I too, need halos when I feel blue. Perhaps.. I should try to notice and be more observant, and spot all these Angels in Disguise around me, waiting for me to reach out to them and for them to reach out to me too.
