Three Little Angels

Three little angels
Playing in the backyard tonight
Mamas cryin on the sofa
With tears all in her eyes
She only thought
That bad things ever happened
To people you don’t meet
And now she can’t believe
His name’s up in the headlines
That’s his face up on the screen

We need love
To keep us pushing forward
It’s not enough to hold it in our hearts
We need love
Standing in our corner
The hardest parts
Are yet to come

She watched him suffer
He was never like the others in town
She’d always hoped he would recover
But the years they let him down
You’d never know it
Cause every time you’d see his picture
He’s always smiling
But right behind his eyes
Everything’s uncertain
Yeah nothing’s really fine tonight

Three little angels
Are sleeping in the back room tonight
Praying with their mother
For a world that never dies

We need love
We need love
We need love
Oh, we need love
