Ben Solomon - Angels lyrics

[Chorus: Jon Bellion] (2x) Angels carry you to land Past what you see, what you know, and where you're living Stay your, stay your course young man There's light at the end of the tunnel that you digging [Verse 1: KING SOL] Well if you had one chance and somebody said to you That you could go and chase your dreams, you could make it all true Have you ever had a dream where you could be almost whatever Free from all oppressors and free to chase your endeavors Well meet Billy, he wanted to be a painter His mom was a hard worker, his dad was a park ranger His parents wanted him to stay out of financial danger Thought Billy was a failure, he'd never learn to labor But Billy had a dream, he didn't plan on giving up He painted daily on the sidewalk, held out a cup Hoping for spare change sitting with his stomach pained Tried to maintain his work as it started to rain And then one day a man stopped by and looked at Bill Put out his hand, dropped down a hundred dollar bill Billy just smiled, handed out what he'd created Cause he could see success and knew that someday he would make it [Chorus] (2x) [Verse 2: KING SOL] Well meet Annie, she never thought she would make it The days were so long, pretty soon she couldn't take it Ran away from home, holding nothing to her name In her mind was the thought of her parents taking the blame She kept walking, pa**ed a painter on the sidewalk Talking to herself, thought that she could hear her mind talk Started to slow down, felt a feeling from above See she had never realized how fortunate she was Annie turned around, no longer felt so alone Gave the man a quarter on the street to her home She crossed the street, and started and thinking ‘bout her future Thinking of a fresh life, started something newer So Annie switched her attitude, stopped acting a fool Embraced life thankfully and then went back to school So even if you feel like everything is wrong Just remember that you don't know what you got until it's gone [Chorus] (2x) [Bridge: KING SOL] See, I been through ups, but I've also been down Ran out of breath on the track but I still make it around Because those people waiting for you at the finish line They're the ones you shouldn't ever try to leave behind It's funny, how sometimes you really need to learn your lesson To bounce back we all truly need to go through recessions And I been trying to work out all of my confessions But sometimes you ain't ready ‘til you know your own direction
