This was for my friend whose brother passed away
V1:
Brother do you see me?
And the the way that we're all changing.
Brother do you realize your mistakes?
Because they left me in an earthquake
Brother do you hear me calling you?
It's been a while since I last saw you
Brother are you listening?
I've spent some time reminiscing
Pc:
But I'm just missing where you stood
With your head beneath your colored hood
And the way you could make me laugh
Now I'm looking at your photograph
Chorus:
You're an angel in the wind
I feel you there against my skin
Pay no mind to the tears I cry
They say it gets better in time
You were there to pick me up
but now you're flying high above
If you saw me now, would you be proud?
Tell me would you be proud?
V2:
Brother did you believe you were invincible?
That's okay, it's forgivable.
Brother did you ever think?
How life could end in just a blink.
PC:
But I'm just missing where you stood
With your head beneath your colored hood
And the way you could make me laugh
Now I'm looking at your photograph
Chorus:
You're an angel in the wind
I feel you there against my skin
Pay no mind to the tears I cry
They say it gets better in time
You were there to pick me up
but now you're flying high above
If you saw me now, would you be proud?
Tell me would you be proud?
Bridge:
I'm still here where you left me
Trying to figure out a way to be happy
But I see you wherever I go
Your son is looking more like you, did you know?
And I still hear you when I'm alone
And for a moment I think you're home
But when I turn around and see
I'm left with the reality
Chorus:
You're just an angel in the wind
I feel you there against my skin
Pay no mind to the tears I cry
it's not getting better in time
You aren't here to pick me up
because you're flying high above
but if you saw me now,
Tell me would you be proud?
