Story Behind The Song
Gods sends his angels to watch over all living things. "Angels Watch Over" was inspired to demonstrate this fact.
Song Description
Upbeat and created on the synthesizer, the vocals bring us all around the world, showing that angels watch over all living things, from the butterfly with fragile wings to the tawny lion the jungle calls king. North to south, east to west, summer, fall winter, spring, angels watch over everything. The music has a happy, carefree feel to it that is vibrant and cheerful.

Lyrics
ANGELS WATCH OVER
Angels watch over all living things--
The butterfly on fragile wings,
The tawny lion the jungle calls king,
Angels watch over all living things--
Elephants, koalas, wallabies,
Dolphins, whales, and manatees,
The camel who sways across desert sands,
The arctic fox prowling frozen lands--
Penquins, seals, snowshoe hares,
Hedgehogs, chipmunks, and grizzly bears,
The woolly lamb grazing on a hill,
The pelican fishing with her bill--
Spiders, bees, lizards, snakes,
Fish, pond lilies, frogs and drakes,
The pigeon cooing in the park,
The owl hooting after dark--
Flowers, trees, grass, weeds,
Orchards, gardens, and tiny seeds,
The snow goose flying through skies of blue,
And, yes! Dear children--they watch over you.
Angels watch over all living things--
Sharing the light of the love that they bring.
Summer, fall, winter, spring--
Angels watch over all living things.
