Lyrics Skillet - Looking For Angels

Going through this life, looking for angels
People passing by, looking for angels
Walk this world alone
Try to stay on my feet
Sometimes crawl, fall but I stand up
'Cause I'm afraid to sleep
Open my eyes to a new day
With all new problems and all new pain
All the faces are filled with so much anger
Losing our dignity and hope from fear of danger
After all the wars, after settling the scores
At the break of dawn we will be deaf to the answers
There's so much bigotry, misunderstanding and fear
With eyes squinted and fists clinched we reach out for what is dear
We want it, we want, we want a reason to live
We're on a pilgrimage, a crusade for hope
'Cause in our hearts and minds and souls we know
We need it, we need, we need more than this
Going through this life, looking for angels
People passing by, looking for angels
Walking down the streets, looking for angels
Everyone I meet, looking for angels
So many nations with so many hungry people
So many homeless scrounging around for dirty needles
On the rise, teen suicide, when we will realize
We've been desensitized by the lies of the world
We're oppressed and impressed by the greedy
Whose hands squeeze the life out of the needy
When will we learn that wars, threats and regrets
Are the cause and effect of living in fear
Who can help protect the innocence of our children
Stolen on the Internet with images they can't forget
We want it we want, we want a reason to live
We represent a generation that wants to turn back a nation
To let love be our light and salvation
We need it, we need, we need more than this
Going through this life, looking for angels
People passing by, looking for angels
Walking down the streets, looking for angels
Everyone I meet, looking for angels
I became a savior to some kids, I'll never meet
Sent a check in the mail to buy them something to eat
What will you do to make a difference, to make a change?
What will you do to help someone along the way?
Just a touch, a smile as you turn the other cheek
Pray for your enemies, humble yourself, love's staring back at me
In the midst of the most painful faces
Angels show up in the strangest of places
Going through this life, looking for angels
People passing by, looking for angels
Walking down the streets, looking for angels
Everyone I meet, looking for angels

Going through this life, looking for angels
People passing by, looking for angels
Walking down the streets, looking for angels
Everyone I meet, looking for angels
Going through this life, looking for angels
People passing by, looking for angels
Walking down the streets, looking for angels
Everyone I meet, looking for angels
Going through this life, looking for angels

Идя через эту жизнь в поисках ангелов,
Проходят мимо люди в поисках ангелов...

Иду по миру в одиночку,
Пытаюсь держаться на своих ногах,
Иногда ползу, упав, но каждый раз встаю,
Потому что я боюсь заснуть.

Открой мои глаза, чтоб я увидел новый день
Со всеми новыми проблемами и болью,
Все лица наполнены такой ужасной злобой,
Теряем достоинство, надежду из-за страха опасности.

После всех войн, после того, как расставлены приоритеты,
На рассвете дня мы будем глухи к ответам.
Так много фанатизма, непонимания и страха...
Со скошенными глазами и сжатыми кулаками мы тянемся к тому, что так дорого для нас...

Мы хотим этого, мы хотим, мы хотим причины жить,
Мы в странствии, крестовом походе за надеждой,
Потому что наше сердце и разум знают:
Нам нужно это, нам нужно, нам нужно большее, чем это...

[Припев:]
Идя через эту жизнь в поисках ангелов,
Проходят мимо люди в поисках ангелов...
Гуляя по улицам в поискам ангелов,
Все, кого я встречал, ищут ангелов.

Так много наций, так много голодающих,
Так много бездомных, ищущих грязной дозы.
На подъёме подростковый суицид, когда же мы поймём,
