about

Angels have been perceived over the millennia in different ways. A kind, loving, helpful person can be thought of as an angel. Perhaps most often angels are thought of as disembodied, enlightened spirit beings that bring messages or aid to humans. There is also the concept that angels are the spirits of humans who have passed to the spirit realm. I have no idea. And I have no idea how this song came to me. I’d like to think it was whispered to my heart by an angel.

lyrics

THE ANGEL IN THE CORNER

There’s an angel in the corner looking ‘round the room,
Shining ever brightly while the others fan the gloom.
And I don’t believe I’ve ever seen such sadness in their eyes.
I will not forget the angel in the corner.

There are angels on the shoreline looking out to sea,
Fields of glowing candles so that drowning souls can see.
But we’re blinded by the glaring lights of ships that thunder by.
I will not forget the angel in the corner.

In terra pax. In terra pax.
In terra pax. In terra pax.

There are angels in the city; there are angels in the sky.
They can move your heart to pity; they will hear you when you cry.
I may never understand what I instinctively believe
But I won’t forget the angel in the corner.
No, I won’t forget the angel in the corner.
I won’t forget the angel in the corner.
