Angel, some have it hard
Ambition mocked then barred
But we're created half to rise
Half to fall

Angel, this is your path
Past generations laugh
You were created in the shadows
A real fathers son

So here we go again
If your background
Steps into the foreground
They'll lock you away

Ignore the instincts to stay down
Keep history at bay
You'll have your day
Angel, you can't be blamed

You know no other way
Here's to your children
Why not just free them
And stop the pain

So here we go again
If your background
Steps into the foreground
They'll lock you away

Ignore the instincts to stay down
Keep history at bay
You'll have your day
Angel, you've done the work

You've had your speed dispersed
You've created one half to rise,
One half to fall
