Maybe there's a light in my soul
Maybe it flickers like a neon sign outside an abandoned hotel
Maybe there are things you just can't know
But can you say there are no mysteries in the house you choose to dwell
Maybe we are entertaining angels unaware
Maybe there's a place where we will fly
But some say God is dead like Nietzsche said and faith has made me a fool
But maybe there is more than meets the eye
Who's that stranger there beside you? Don't be smug and don't be cruel
Maybe we are entertaining angels unaware
Battles of the heart and of the mind
We stay caught in mental purgatory 'til our existence can be defined
Meanwhile on the shores of parallel
There may be a holy conference held somewhere discussing all mankind
Maybe we are entertaining angels unaware
I say maybe we are entertaining angels unaware
Angels unaware
Soaring, somewhere, longing, reaching
Searching, knowing, loving, caring
Let me take you by the hand
Lead you to the promised land
And trust Him with your heart
He'll lead you homeHolding us together
Then we're tearing us apart
It's tragic then it's beautiful
We shine and then it's dark
Feeling like a little kid
Because I can't let go
Chorus
Every time I think about
The things that I can't live without
Well I must love the pain
Misunderstood and complicated
Happiness is overrated
I must love the pain
Everytime you draw me in
I take a step away
Maybe I'm just restless
'Cause I want
What I can't take
It's a shame that nothing else on earth
Can make me feel this way
Chorus
Feelin' like a little kid because I can't let go
Chorus
Well, I must love the pain
I do love the pain
