lyrics

It must be hard to be an angel
There's no good place to hide the wings
And with so many souls to rescue
There's not much time for other things
Angels never get vacations
They know they're constantly on call
There's always someone illustrating
The way pride goes before a fall

You know the devil, he's got it easy
All he's got to do is wait
We're all too ready to condemn ourselves
It's so much easier to hate than to love

I saw an angel on a park bench
He was looking pretty glum
Like he'd been holding back a torrent
And knew the worst was yet to come
I'll bet an angel gets discouraged
To see the state this world is in
I'm sure they want to make it better
But just don't know where to begin

You know the devil, he's got it easy
All he's got to do is wait
We're all too ready to condemn ourselves
It's so much easier to hate than to love

No one would choose to be an angel
Though I suppose it might be swell
To know you played a part in saving
Somebody's sorry ass from hell

You know the devil, he's got it easy
All he's got to do is wait
We're all too ready to condemn ourselves
It's so much easier to hate than to love
