Why is that man taking up my time
Bringing me down cos he’s begging for a dime
Why don’t he get a job
Why is that girl holding up the line
Does she know I 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

Well what if these strangers are telling me something
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
And stop being so ungrateful
For all of these strangers
Cos what if they’re angels
What if they’re angels from above

So what if those kids who are crossing 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 ain’t ticking away

But what if these strangers are telling me something
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
And stop being so ungrateful
For all of these strangers
Cos what if they’re angels
What if they’re angels from above

So what if that man who was taking up my time
Was about to say something that was gonna change my life
I think I’ve figured it out

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
And stop being so ungrateful
For all of these strangers
Cos what if they’re angels
What if they’re angels from above…
Aaaaaangels
Aaaaaangels
From above…
