I think I need an angel (angel)
I keep lookin' up, hoping things might start lookin' up
You probably can't tell from this angle
But I think I need an angel (angel)
I think I need an angel (angel)
Bob is waiting for a dollar with shame in his eyes
Just needin' somethin' to eat
And he's tired, so tired from sleepin' on the street
Bob is feelin' worn out all day and night
Had the shoes to rest on his feet
Prayin' to a God he'd never seen
And he still believes in his hopes and his dreams
Like they ain't never really ever too far away
And lookin' up to the stars, he needs a prayer
Throwin' words in the air, he screams
I think I need an angel (angel)
I keep lookin' up, hopin' things might start lookin' up
You probably can't tell from this angle
But I think I need an angel (angel)
I think I need an angel (angel)
She was high and cryin', hidin' behind the thunderstorms
Maria says she's dyin', dyin' to be on a roll
But the angels' view from heaven's clouds
They want to try and settle down
It's a sign I wouldn't mind
Tryin' to see while I'm runnin' all alone
Now she's starin' down a busy street, as the cars fly by
From the window, she keeps standin' on the ledge
From the edge, she keeps screamin' out
I think I need an angel
To save me from myself
Well, I think I need an angel (angel)
I keep lookin' up, hopin' things might start lookin' up
You probably can't tell from this angle
But I think I need an angel (angel)
I think I need an angel (angel)
To save me from myself
Oh Lord, I think I need an angel
To save me from myself
