After every day-after-Thanksgiving sale the malls just aint complete
Without a bunch of decorations and a paper angel tree
Theres artificial smiles on artificial tree limbs
Saying what shed love to have and what to buy for him
Well i hope Maggie likes her new winter clothes and her buggy with a baby doll
And maybe Tomll smile with his new nike shoes when he shoots that basketball
I cant help but wishing that i could do more
But not just while Im shopping in the department store
Paper angels youre in my thoughts and prayers
No matter where you are right now remember Gods right there
Hes asking all of us to help take care
Of his paper angels everywhere
Going through the mail almost every afternoon i see a Mom and Dads
Worst dream
There on the back of a money-saving ad to get my carpet cleaned
Height, weight, hair, eyes, date missing, and DOB
A childs name, a picture, and the words have you seen me?
Paper angels youre in my thoughts and prayers
No matter where you are right now remember Gods right there
Hes asking all of us to help take care
Of his paper angels everywhere
His documented bruises fill a folder file
Shes a second grade self-portrait drawn without a smile
And every town is littered with this kind of debris
Weve got to stop this madness and its up to you and me
Paper angels youre in my thoughts and prayers
No matter where you are right now remember Gods right there
Hes asking all of us to help take care
Of his paper angels everywhere
Paper angels everywhere
