What If She's An Angel?

There's a man on a corner
With a sign sayin' "Will work for food"
You know the man--you see him ev'ry mornin'
The one you never give your money to
You can sit there with your window rolled up
Wonderin' when the light's gonna turn green
Never knowin' what a couple more bucks
In his pocket might mean
What if he's an angel sent here from Heaven
And he's makin' certain that you're doin' your best
To take the time to help one another?
Brother, are you gonna pass that test?
You can go on with your day-to-day
Tryin' to forget what you saw in his face
Knowin' deep down
You could've been his saving grace
What if he's an angel?
There's a man and a woman
Livin' right above you in apartment G
There's a lot of noise comin' through the ceilin'
And it don't sound like harmony
You can sit there with your TV turned up
While the words and his anger fly
But, come tomorrow, when you see her with her shades on
Can you look her in the eye?
What if she's an angel sent here from Heaven
And she's makin' certain that you're doin' your best
To take the time to help one another?
Brother, are you gonna pass that test?
You can go on with your day-to-day
Tryin' to forget what you saw in her face
Knowin' deep down
You could've been her saving grace
What if she's an angel?
A little girl in Daddy's lap
Hidin' her disease with a baseball cap
You can change the channel--most people do
But what if you were in her daddy's shoes?
Maybe she's an angel sent here from Heaven
And she's makin' certain that you're doin' your best
To take the time to help one another
Brother, are you gonna pass that test?
You can go on with your day-to-day
Tryin' to forget what you saw in her face
Knowin' deep down
You could've been her saving grace
What if she's an angel?
