Choir of Angels

Story Behind The Song

There are so many horrible things that happen to all of us every single day that seem to have no point. The pain is unbearable, and our suffering doesn't seem like it will ever stop. When I was in the 7th grade, my teacher would bring her 4 year old into class most days. She had epilepsy, and my teacher was terrified of her having an episode in my teacher's absence. Once I reached high school, I received word that her daughter had passed away. After weeks of crying and cursing life and whatever God would do this so needlessly, I started to notice other things in my life that I hadn't before. The positive aspects of those around me seemed to glow out of them. I started to notice people, in their kindness and selfless acts, as they were. Through the pain and suffering of all of us, there is good that comes from us all. So, by default, we are all good, and should strive for that from the get go...

Lyrics

Welcome arms
open heart
beautiful eyes
and a smile so kind

I know loves what we've been searching for
it fills that void that always
craves more
when we sing together
it's with a choir of angels
like never before


beauty such priceless beauty
is everywhere we see
if we could only look past our noses
and selfish gain
what a world it would be

and I know loves what we've been searching for
it fills that void that always
craves more when we sing together
it's with a choir of angels
like never before

lets send these love roots deep
with a smile at least
to pause for a moment
and to cripple this beast

and I know loves what we've been searching for
it fills that void that always
craves more when we sing together
it's with a choir of angels

and ill take of my hat and salute you
and the cool thing is god will too
when we rise together
its with an army of angels
like never before
