Lyrics
SEND AN ANGEL LORD
BY PAUL MASK & RK BROWN
VERSE 1
I SAW SIX O?CLOCK NEWS, REPORT FROM IRAQ
MY HUSBAND?S UNIT, CAME UNDER ATTACK
A CAR BOMB EXPLOSION AT A CHECKPOINT BY THE ROADSIDE
SEND AN ANGEL LORD, KEEP MY ANGEL ALIVE
CHORUS
SEND AN ANGEL LORD, KEEP MY ANGEL SAFE
HE?S COMIN? HOME, IN SIXTEEN DAYS
I?M ROCKIN? OUR BABY GIRL, HIS PICTURE BY MY SIDE
SEND AN ANGEL LORD, KEEP MY ANGEL ALIVE
VERSE 2
MY SISTER CAME OVER, TRIED TO COMFORT ME
COULDN?T FALL ASLEEP, FED THE BABY AT THREE
FELT LIKE I NEEDED TO PRAY, WE KNELT DOWN AND CRIED
SEND AN ANGEL LORD, HELP MY ANGEL SURVIVE
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
TURNED THE TV ON, THE MORNING NEWS
SAW THE TRAGIC SCENE, THE CLEAN-UP CREW
INTERVIEWING MARINES, SURVIVIN? THE BLAST
THEY SHOWED MY ANGEL?S FACE, NOT EVEN A SCRATCH
SEND AN ANGEL, KEEP MY ANGEL SAFE
HE?S COMIN HOME IN FIFTEEN DAYS
I?M ROCKIN OUR BABY GIRL, HIS PICTURE BY MY SIDE
SEND AN ANGEL LORD, KEEP MY ANGEL ALIVE
TAG
SEND YOUR ANGEL LORD, KEEP MY ANGEL ALIVE
