Hazel's Song

The rhythm of his heartbeat matched the waves of hurt that circumscribed his brain
So he rifled through his pockets, hoping for a pint of Jack to kill the pain
He was sleepin' on an unfamiliar sofa, and he'd never seen- the paintings on wall
Then he remembered what he promised her, the woman there to save him from his fall

Thank God for all the Angels here among us
Thank God for second chances and never giving up
When the world seems stacked against you and he sends helpers from above
Jesus loves you, all his children, there's no conditions on his love

She labored at a vaudeville house, in the office selling tickets for the shows
Her husband had died suddenly, leaving broken hearts and creditors they owed
Giving up was not an option, but her prospects for a better job, were were- limited at best
Still she had a heart for others as the poor drunk on her sofa would attest

Thank God for all the Angels here among us
Thank God for second chances and never giving up
When the world seems stacked against you and he sends helpers from above
Jesus loves you, all his children, there's no conditions on his love

In a world so quick to judgment and expecting all the worst
There are Angels who can see straight through you to your soul
Some will tell you that you'll never change, that you're just the way you've always been
When the world conspires against you and you're feeling out of luck
Despite the preconceptions, Angels find the gem inside the rock

Now when he passes by a tavern, he's still attracted to the neon sign a glowin'
And all the guys who were his best friends just as long as he kept the drinks a flowin'
But he's so thankful that she took him in and nursed him back to health, when he was his worst
She had no designs on worldly gain, but helped him get his downward fall reversed

Thank God for all the Angels here among us
Thank God for second chances and never giving up
When the world seems stacked against you and he sends helpers from above
Jesus loves you, all his children, there's no conditions on his love
