Tonight I saw an angel

The tiniest angel of all

My baby angel is peaceful

He doesn’t want to cry

His heart is beating slowly

Translucent skin and eyes

His veins revealing life

The finest work of art

Baby, are you there?

Baby, I implore you

Will you be there for me?

They say your eyes are closed

But I swear you look at me

They say you breathe no more

But I swear you exhale my air

I touch your hands and pray

Which God can save me now?

Tonight I met an angel

He blessed me with his life

They say you’re dead, my soul

But I know these are all lies

Mummy will never leave you

And so you’ll never die.
