Ordinary Angels

She was counting her change in the line a
At the counter of the grocery store
Every penny, every nickel she could find
But she still comes up short

Just a single mom doing the best that she can
When a stranger slips a 20 in the palm of her hand
She turns around to thank him
But he's already disappeared out the door.

Chorus
Just because God doesn't part the sea
Pull you from the fire, doesn't mean that
He's not there
His fingerprints are everywhere
When the mountain that your climbing
seems so tall
And the battle that you're fighting makes you
feel so all alone
It doesn't mean that you're on your own
'Cause when you need it most, the world is full
of ordinary angels.

He just got back from his second tour of duty,
six months ago
When he closes his eyes, he's still fighting that
fight right here at home
When the nightmares come in the dead
of the night
His little boy runs in and turns on the light
He says daddy don't you worry, as he reaches up
to kiss him on tippy toes

Chorus
Just because God doesn't part the sea
Pull you from the fire, doesn't mean that
He's not there
His fingerprints are everywhere
When the mountain that your climbing
seems so tall
And the battle that you're fighting makes you
feel so all alone
It doesn't mean that you're on your own
'Cause when you need it most, the world is full
of ordinary angels.

When the mountain that you're climbing
Seems so tall
And the battle that you're fighting makes you
feel so all along
It doesn't mean that you're on your own
'Cause when you need it most. the world is full
of ordinary angels.
Ordinary Angels.
