ANGELS OF FREEDOM Music and Lyrics Written by Jeannine Lonski. Arranged and Performed by Edward P. Shamy Jr. Hello God. Sorry I haven’t been here in a while. You see I’ve been kinda busy, consoling friends who wonder why. Why they lost their loved ones, when they went to work one day. And just how does a mom explain why Daddy’s gone away. Was Heaven low on angels? Did you need some new recruits? And do you have enough now, because this really hurts. Now I’ve been taught you have a plan for all that happens here. But I must confess. This is quite a test. Could you whisper in my ear? Now we wait. We wait to hear ‘bout friends who now are gone. And we pray you’ll help us find them. But we just know it’s been too long. We hope now for some closure, and the strength to carry on. We try to have forgiveness, but anger rages on! Was Heaven low on angels? Did you need some new recruits? And do you have enough now, because this really hurts. Now I’ve been taught you have a plan for all that happens here. But I must confess. This is quite a test. Could you whisper in my ear? What’s that Lord? The angels have arrived all safe and sound. They’ve been put in charge of freedom, and they’ll help us here on the ground. As we fight this hatred, and the terror it begets. Their souls will live forever, and no one will forget! Now Heaven’s full of angels. I can pass this message on. I’ll tell my friends through their deeds, their loved ones will live on. I’ll tell a mom to tell her children that their daddy lives through them. Try to be their best, and to never rest, ‘til we’re free from fear again. We will be our best, and we’ll never rest, ‘til we’re free from fear again. Copyright© 2001 Jeannine Lonski |
