Fred Eaglesmith - Angel Of The World lyrics

I took a walk on the highway of life But I got off to look at the sights And where once there stood the city of good There was only struggle and strife There was treachery everywhere And darkness hung in the air And the worst of fears They sang and preached And then they all bowed their heads and they prayed And the angel of the Lord Held a bright burning sword Better here before it's too late And if Jesus is coming He better come quickly While there's still those that worry and wait And the sights and the sounds of sin And the broken hearts of men And the whispering and the ubiquity Was more than a body can stand And the angel of the Lord Held a bright burning sword Better here before it's too late And if Jesus is coming He better come quickly While there's still those that worry and wait While there's still those that worry and wait
