THE MOTHER OF ANGELS song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

the mother of angels
was walking alone on the road
she was barefoot and lost
and taking the path she once knowed

and the ravens they cawed
and they flew in the sky overhead
but all she had left
was the memory of love that was dead

her children were gone
because heaven was not what it seemed
and the garden grew wild
and her past life was only a dream

it's been said many times
that the meek shall inherit the earth
so she sought but to find
the sight of the land of her birth

the mother of angels
the mother of angels
the mother of all innocence

the night it was coming
the stars all began to appear
and the ocean was filled
with the river of ten billion tears

and the planets they spin
with the infinite black in between
she was free of all sin
but her heartache was what she had seen

but of all of her children
there was one who'd gone bad
as bad as bad ever gets
he was vain he was cruel
he was sane he was mad
and swore without any regrets
his soul it was spurious
left home so furious
cursing his Father with threats
but although he was evil
his passions primeval
of her progeny loved him the best

the mother of angels
the mother of angels
the savior of all innocence

so she lay in the field
and rested on pillows of stone
and her soul she did yield
and she went back to God all alone

and He took her in arm
and folded her into His breast
and He kept her from harm
and she knew that at last she was blessed
