Angel angel...

Angel angel on my shoulder
are those tears of joy?
look at those children
playing laughing singing
they only cry tears of joy

angel angel on my shoulder
are those eyes filled with happiness?
look at those couples
hand in hand; close together
only sighs of relief, promises are kept

angel angel on my shoulder
don't look there
poor children of swollen stomachs
slowly dying in their dirt bed sheets

angel angel on my shoulder
close your precious eyes
don't look where the children are crying and very slowly dying

angel angel on my shoulder
please don't cry your tears of gold
wipe them away and spread your wings
fly somewhere far from here where the children's eyes are not red from crying
and their happiness is everlasting.
