When the Angels Sing

When you can hear the angels sing

When you hear the crying of a new born child
When the birds perch upon the sill for awhile 
When a hand reaches out in a time of need
When nothing but love and tranquility supersede 

When of humanity learns to live in harmony and peace
When all of the anger, the hatred and violence decrease
When all of man and women kind find what they seek for
When of the world sings a certain harmony for all to adore


When gone is the ego that drives us all
When we reach out to all of those who fall
When we learn to appreciate who we all are
When we accept all mankind from near and far

When we are all one, children of earth
When we believe all life truly has worth
When the time is now, of what life shall bring
When all love finds meaning in everything 

When you open your mind to anything 
Is when you can hear the angels sing

Perhaps composing is your next step in your continuous growth, you know you have the talent with the words, now it maybe time to go beyond your comfort zone.
