Strangers & Angels

Why is that man taking up my time
Breaking me down cause he's beggin' for a dime
Why don't he get a job

Why is that girl holdin' up the line
Don't she know I got somewhere to be
Got a busy life
Why don't she hurry up

Sometimes it feels like they're all against me
Standing in my way

What if these strangers are telling me something
Oh I gotta slow up I'm always in a rush
What if the strangers are really my lessons
And the little I have is gonna be enough
Maybe I should be thankful
And stop being so ungrateful
For all of these strangers
'Cause what if they're angels
What if they're angels from above

So what if those kids
That are crossing the road
Are keeping me from somewhere
I'm not yet supposed to go
And their teaching me patience, patience

We're all living like we're all made from steel
Like the clock ain't ticking away

But what if these strangers are telling me something
Oh I gotta slow up I'm always in a rush
What if the strangers are really my lessons
And the little I have is gonna be enough
Maybe I should be thankful
And stop being so ungrateful
For all of these strangers
'Cause what if they're angels
What if they're angels from above

So what if that man who was taking up my time
Was about to say something that was gonna to change my life
I think I figured it out

All of these strangers are telling me something
Oh I gotta slow up I'm always in a rush
All of these strangers are really my lessons
And the little I have is gonna be enough
Maybe I should be thankful, and stop being so ungrateful
For all of these strangers
'Cause what if they're angels
What if they're angels from above
