Lyrics 7 Angels - Rachael Sage, Peter Himmelman

7 Angels

In a sea of all the faces that I have ever seen
In a crowd of all the strangers whose shoulders I have touched
In an ocean of unfathomable loss and need
I see seven small coffins and it’s just too much
I’m a mother with my children only steps away
I’m a daughter dreaming peacefully of games to play
I’m a candle in the window flickering with hope
I’m an endless well of grief too deep to ever cope
Veil the meaning of all I’ve ever known
Veil the future of every seed I’ve sown
Sail me somewhere no butterfly has flown
Seven little angels singing «Sim Shalom»
I’m the middle of the night awake with fiery blaze
I’m the restless souls of ancestors unhinged with rage
I’m a listening ear but these are just too many names
Seven little angels caught in fate’s cruel cage
Veil the meaning of all I’ve ever known
Veil the future of every seed I’ve sown
Sail me somewhere no butterfly has flown
Seven little angels singing «Sim Shalom»
Tovah u’vrachah
Chayn vachesed v’rachamim v’rachamim
Aleynu v’al chol Yisrael
Seven little secrets life will never tell
I’m a mother with my children only steps away
I’m a daughter dreaming peacefully of games to play
I’m a candle in the window flickering with love
I’m an endless well of grief too deep to rise above
Veil the meaning of all I’ve ever known
Veil the future of every seed I’ve sown
Sail me somewhere no butterfly has flown
Seven little angels singing «Sim Shalom»
Tovah u’vrachah
Chayn vachesed v’rachamim v’rachamim
Aleynu v’al chol Yisrael
Seven little secrets life will never tell
Aleynu v’al chol everyone
Seven little pairs of shoes that could not run
