Hearing angels in the playground
Took some time to figure out
Gots to be yours
And yeah, I'm talking to you now
Though you're not alive
Still be hearing ya, your voice
Time never gave us
No my daddy wasn't famous
'Bout a thousand miles between us
Didn't let go until he seen us
It's a bittersweet melody
Years ago and I'm spreading this legacy
I said it brings out the better me
But I could feel your spirit, I hopethat it never leaves
I got a home
You see sometimes in life I'm walking feeling lonely
I got some answers that I'm seeking, you would know them
And I would trade it all if I could get a moment with you
Angels in the playground
Took some time to figure out
Gots to be yours
And yeah, I'm talking to you now
Though you're not alive
Still be hearing ya, your voice
Didn't really wanna talk about it 'cause if people laughed and told me
I was crazy it would make me act so violently
'Cause when mama chose a cloud to flee
That night I saw the moon smile at me
At first I thought I'm going crazy
Then the smile got bigger and I felt that pretty lady's
(Spirit, spirit, spirit, spirit, spirit, spirit)
Now it's with me daily
Now I can feel that extra energy when the motion light
Comes on inside my closet that don't hinder me
'Cause I'm hoping what I'm finna see
Gonna be my mama, not the enemy
Angels in the playground
Took some time to figure out
Gots to be yours
And yeah, I'm talking to you now
Though you're not alive
Still be hearing ya, your voice
Energy never dies, it transfers
Can you tell him extra, I got mine and I am hers
No longer a damper with God it's no slanders
But I wish I could see her again, try to peek in heaven for a gander
And tell her thank you
For putting a name to
This twisted brain, you always remain true
Now that your pain's through
My dreams came true
And yes I blame who?
Her middle name Sue
And the song stopped
Now I look at life another way now
People need each other's help to love, no need to stay frowned
First I thought my mother's death would cease forever laid down
She's with me for real the globe is now my angel's playground, yeah
Angels in the playground
Took some time to figure out
Gots to be yours
And yeah, I'm talking to you now
Though you're not alive
Still be hearing ya, your voice
See, you've given me life
I can't repay you but
I keep singing praise, I mean all the way up to you
I wish that I could say "what's up" to you
I feel a spirit and it must be you
I know that spirits (sprit, spirit, spirit)
Must be real (spirit, spirit, spirit)
See there's no other way to explain what I feel
