Lyrics

There are angels up above us
Scattered ‘mongst the city lights
If you count them there’d be thousands
Dimming out the stars on a crystal night

Fate will hold its flickering candle
Leave it open to the wind
Gather round and guard its secrets
You other worldly citizens

We all stand on shaky ground
The city walls are coming down
We might forget their watching
With so much going on around
The world just keeps on spinnin’
And the angels keep on blendin’ in
With the city lights

If I could fly, then I’d fly solo
Maybe that’s why I ain’t got wings
Nor have I tried to earn them lately
It’s just one of those things

But here we are now - saints and sinners
We mix and move from place to place
Despite the shadows in every corner
We rarely wonder how we’re still safe

Bridge:
It changes a man to look to the sky
And feel that he owes in countless small ways
A debt on his life
Call out my name
Call out my name
I still pass on by. We won’t even meet eyes
But I’ll drop you a five
