if i could see angels

If i could see angels
i think they would say
the world is just fire
and they wanted to play.
If lies were lost faith
and words were like hands
i think the world we get lost in
might soon understand
that wars are like wishes
and blood is like scars
of our angel's last kisses
from their home in the stars.
If somehow you knew
that the clock is past due
I'd leap across time
and find hope inside you.
If i could see angels
i think they would say
the world is just fire
and they wanted to play.
But when its time to say goodnight
we'll watch the world turn as we sleep
and the eyes of our angels-
drop tears as they weep.
