Verse 1:
Why is that man taking up my time
bringing me down cuz he's beggin for a dime
why dont he get a job
why is that girl holding up the line
dont she know i've got somewhere to be, got a busy life
why don't she hurry up
sometimes it feels like they're all against me
standing in my way
Chorus:
but what if these strangers are telling me somethin
oh i gotta slow up I'm always in a rush
what if these strangers are really my lessons
and the little i have is gonna be enough
maybe i should be thankful stop being so ungrateful
for all of these strangers,
cause what if they're angels
what if they're angels from above
Verse 2:
so what if those kids crossin the road
are keeping me from somewhere i'm not yet supposed to go
and they're teaching me patience.. patience
we're all living like we're made of steel, like the clock aint tickin away
Chorus:
but what if these strangers are tellin me somethin
oh i gotta slow up I'm always in a rush
what if these strangers are really my lessons
and the little i have is gonna be enough
maybe i should be thankful, stop being so ungrateful
for all of these strangers
cause what if they're angels
what if they're angels from above
Bridge:
so what if that man who was takin up my time
was about to say something that was gonna change my life
I think I've figured it out
Chorus 2:
all of these strangers are telling me something
oh i gotta slow up I'm always in a rush
all of these strangers are really my lessons
and the little i have is gonna be enough
maybe i should be thankful stop being so ungrateful
for all of these strangers
cause what if they're angels
what if they're angels from above
a a a angels a a a angels from above
