(with capo on 1st fret)
There’s a man standing on a corner
With a sign sayin’ “will work for food”
You know the man you see him every mornin’
The one you never give your money to
You can sit there with your window rolled up
Wonderin’ when the lights are gonna turn green
Never knowin’ what a couple more bucks
In his pocket might mean…
(chorus)
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 could’ve been his savin’ grace
What if he’s an angel?
There’s a man and there’s a woman
Livin’ right above you in apartment G
There’s a lot of noise coming through the ceiling
And it don’t sound like harmony
You can sit there with your TV turned up
While the words in his anger fly
But come tomorrow when you see her with her shades on
Can you look her in the eye?
(chorus)
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 could’ve been his savin’ grace
What if he’s an angel?
A little girl on daddy’s lap
Hidin’ her disease with a baseball cap
You can turn the channel most people do
But what if you were sittin’ in her daddy’s shoes?
(chorus)
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 could’ve been his savin’ grace
What if he’s an angel?
