Angels
Heart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's something I have found
Looking back and knowing now
This was meant for me
This was meant for me

Though I never journeyed far
Now I see from where You are
You were moving me
You were moving me

Angels singing
Angels singing

It was worth it all
Hearing angels calling out my name
When You reached down for me

Every day gone by
And each moment life was handed me
It's easy now to see

That I could smile
So you'd be seen through me

For the ones that wait behind
Give them just a bit more time
They can smile for me
They can smile for me

Angels singing
Angels singing

It was worth it all
Hearing angels calling out my name
When You reached down for me

And every day gone by
And each moment life was handed me
It's easy now to see

That I could smile
So you'd be seen through me

Angels sing, angels sing
Sing for me, sing for me
Angels sing, angels sing
Sing for me, sing for me

It was worth it all
Hearing angels calling out my name
When You reached down for me

Angels sing, angels sing
Sing for me, sing for me
Angels sing, angels sing
Sing for me, sing for me
Sing for me

Angels sing, angels sing




Sing for me, sing for me
Sing for me

Overall Meaning

In the song "Angels", Heart sings about a longing to escape from the mundane and earthly constraints of life and to become free like angels. The song starts with the repetition of the word "Angels" as if the band is summoning them. The first two lines suggest that the angels are free, which is a stark contrast to the singer's own restrictions. The singer hears the angels in the trees, and they wish that they could be like them.


The singer then describes how they are fascinated by the clouds rolling overhead and how they seem to have faces that are watching them. The clouds and the singer "know each other well" as the singer has spent considerable time watching them. In the second verse, the singer directly addresses the angels, asking them how high they have been and what they saw about the singer. The singer also wants to know if their time will go far and whether love reaches up where the angels are. The singer is willing to pay the angels for their song and asks if they can go along too.


Overall, "Angels" paints a picture of someone longing to be free from the confines of their everyday existence and seeking solace in the idea of angels. The song captures the dreamy quality that often accompanies thoughts of ascension and the boundless freedom that it brings.
