Little Angels

Sad sad thoughts run wild again
As if to cast them in, and spin, outside this atmosphere
You're a version of an angel, like everyone else
Why do you do the things you do that way
It's a waste, and not a shame
That all those years left you and them, on the edge
Of a ride that wasn't what it should have been

A thousand screams silenced by innocence
Some one's inherited lack
Leave a million dreams broken again
If I threw my heart in that fire and rain
It would not change a thing
So, who has to say something for one to hear?
There's nothing to tell anyone about this fear

Close your eyes
Lay your hands by your side
Even in the darkness of night
A reflection you see
A perfect legacy you leave behind
So little angels who were once lost
Will find their way home in time
