Lyrics

All day long they shufle through
Sneakers, sandals, high heel shoes
Scraps of paper, chewing gum
My work here is never done
They exit now in single file
I sweep the floors and scrub the tiles
Til dying echoes quiet the room
And leave me leaning on my broom
Above me now the fall of man
But it all depends on where you stand
Is He letting go or reaching out for Adam's hand
Look up, look up
There are angels flying low enough to see
Look up, oh look up
Four long years I've bent my back
Painting every plaster crack
The hand of God and Adam's sin
Rain down in brush drops thick and thin
I ache with shame and head for home
Through the darkened streets of Rome
The night girls calling out to me
And drunkards praying on their knees
Above me now the canopy
The stars in all their majesty
Remind me of the master I will never be
Look up, look up
There are angels flying low enough to see
Look up, oh look up
High above the blessed and cursed
Like ants they scurry on the Earth
Debauchery and daily chores
Always hungry, wanting more
I've sent them plague and flood and fire
Tried so hard to stay inspired
And somehow solve the mystery
Of what they ever saw in me
If I could only kneel before
The man who sweeps the chapel floor
Show him he's as holy as the angels
Maybe more
Look up, look up
There are angels flying low enough to see
Look up, oh look up
