Wrestling With Angels |
I wrestled with an angel |
Of darkness called Despair |
He claimed that he was |
The answer to my prayers |
He tried to bring me round |
To his general school of thought |
He claimed if I chose |
I could end all my woes |
Forever in a single shot |
Well he damn near won me over |
But my trigger finger froze |
Soon a battle of wits |
Became a mortal exchange of blows |
Right before the lights went out |
He pressed his whiskers to my ear |
Then he spat and he cursed |
And he whispered these words |
With a snarl and a snigger and a sneer |
He said… |
Give it up, son |
You know you never can win |
The world is a burning house |
It’s always something |
Get your gun, son |
Kiss all your sorrows goodbye |
Bang and you’ll be flyin' |
Like a bird up in the sky |
Came a-tapping on my shoulder |
It was an angel of light called Hope |
She said… |
«Hey little Boy Blue |
Please let an old friend throw you a rope» |
Sure it’s dark, cold and windy |
And the heavens ain’t no great shakes |
But weather wise |
You just might be surprised |
What a difference a day makes |
She said… |
Don’t give up, son |
It’s true, you can’t always win |
The world is a burning house |
It’s always something |
(There's always a-something) |
Hide your gun, son |
One to the head won’t do you right |
Come mornin' I bet you’ll see things |
In a whole different light |
She said… |
A whole different light |
