• Sleeping silently in the night
    Fireflies flickering bright
    A little angel she is
    I bend down and give her a kiss

    in the next room there is a fight
    nothing in this house is right
    mom's punches fly
    little brother starts to cry

    little angel stay asleep
    outside your door a monster creeps
    mommy's in a bad mood today
    I promise one day it will be okay

    I wash his face and fix his hair
    I say be quiet or she will hear
    We will leave very soon
    there you go now go to your room

    baby brother go to sleep
    all my secrets you must keep
    mommy can't know that we are going away
    if you want you can see her again someday

    in the morning we will be leave
    then you can have dreams to achieve
    please God guide our way
    there is no way i can let them stay

    into the night they sneak
    through the woods along the creek
    A friend waiting down the road
    heart beating so fast it's about to explode

    gets to the car
    then takes a moment to look at the stars
    she carefully puts the sleeping angels in
    it's time for their new life to begin.
