Angel was her name

Angel was her name
She’s only 19 but as brave as a dragon
Lives in Mandalay
Got eyes of a phoenix, heart of a lion

Early in the day
Though she didn’t know what happened
Her future’s gone astray
She couldn’t just stay quiet

Angel was her name
Her dreams are out there beyond all the riots
But she never changed
Catch a grenade despite all the violence

It keeps me wide awake
When they don’t know the difference
Between what’s wrong and right
So Angel would be fine
But spring is right around

When they would go
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Angel was, Angel was
When they would go
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down
Angel was, Angel was her name

The truth is, there're so many names
I could never speak on behalf of the victims
Imagine all the pain
But you don’t care as much as your favorite fiction

The politicians fail
When they don’t know the difference
Between what’s wrong and right
So Angel would be fine
But spring is right around

When they would go
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Angel was, Angel was
When they would go
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down
Angel was, Angel was her name

We’re all angels
We’re all angels
We’re all angels

It keeps me wide awake
Is Angel back in heaven?
She knows what’s right and wrong
I’ll make sure she’s so proud
But spring is right around

They’d go down
And they’d go down
When they’d go down
When they’ll go down
When they’d go down (we’re all angels)
When they’d go down (we’re all angels)
And they’d go down (we’re all angels)
And they'd go down
