You could tell all the years, had worn their mark upon my daddy's face
and when you look into his eyes,
their tells a story of god's amazing grace
Cause he would never let it show
the price he paid, to keep his family fed
cause he was just a simple man
yet profound, in every word he said
yeah, he was just a simple man
so profound, in every word he said
Chorus:
sing, alleluiah for angels on high
and alleluiah for angels who cry
sing alleluiah for angels who lived and died
sing alleluiah for angels on high
And in the twilight of his life
still he showed me more, than i could ever know
and when you look into his heart
their beats a story, of god's eternal flow
Cause he would never let it show
the sacrifice he made, to keep his family fed
cause he was just a simple man
yet, profound in every word he said
yeah, he was just a simple man
so profound in every word he said
Chorus:
sing alleluiah for angels on high
and alleluiah for angels who cry
sing alleluiah for angels who lived and died
sing alleluaiah for angels on high
sing alleluiah, cause he's an angel on high
