If you saw me on the street holes in my shoes and blisters on my feet would you stop and offer me a ride or would you turn you head the other way and ignore the guilt inside If I was a little boy with dirt on my face and holes in my shirt no place to call home would you leave me out in the rain all alone or would you invite me in if I was a single mother trying to do my best working as a waitress a baby on the way stressed and worried would you leave a tip or would you walk away If I was a little girl crying in the alley because my daddy hit my mommy and I was afraid she wanted to leave but he made her stay would you talk behind her back and laugh or would you offer to help All God’s angels are in disguise only he knows who , where and why If I showed up at your door and my baby was hungry and I asked for some bread promised that I would work your land night and day would you help or would you turn me away If I was a pregnant teenage girl selling her body in this cruel world would you criticize and hate or would you help me get my life straight All God’s angels are in disguise only he knows who, where and why hand and hand we roam his land a beautiful angel in an everyday man if I was old and lived alone would you stop by just for a talk or would you ignore me and continue to walk down the street and pretend not to see me If I was a homeless man unable to work making my home out on the streets the war of sixty nine took my legs and feet would you laugh and stare and the cripple man in the wheel chair or would you offer your help God’s angels are in each one of us some in disguise some never seen others brought forward like the man on the street
