After every day, after Thanksgiving sell
Malls just ain`t complete
Without a bunch of decorations
And a paper angel tree

There`s artificial smiles
On artificial tree limbs
Sayin what she`d love to have
And what to buy for him

Well, I hope Maggie likes her new winter clothes
And her buggie with a baby doll
And maybe Thomas smile in his new Nike shoes
When he shoots that basketball

I can`t help but wishin`
That I could do more
But not just while I`m shopping
In the department store

Paper angels, you`re in my thoughts and prayers
No matter where you are right now
Remember God`s right there, He`s asking all of us
To help take care of his paper angels everywhere

Goin` through the mail on this starry afternoon
I see a mom and dad`s worst dream
Their on the back of a money-savin`-add
To get my carpet clean

Height, weight, hair, eyes
Date missin` and D.O.B
A child`s name a picture
And the words `Have you see me`

Paper angels, you`re in my thoughts and prayers
No matter where you are right now
Remember God`s right there, He`s asking all of us
To help take care of his paper angels everywhere

His doc**ented bruises, film, a folder and a file
She`s a second grade self portrait, drawn without a smile
And every town has a litter with this kind of debris
We`ve got to stop this madness, it`s up to you and me

Paper angels, you`re in my thoughts and prayers
No matter where you are right now
Remember god`s right there, He`s asking all of us
To help take care of his paper angels everywhere
Paper angels everywhere
