[Verse 1]
D C G G6
I saw children through a fence
D C G G6
Standing by blue canvas tents
D C G G6
I called to them, they moved like ghosts
Em G G6
Blind, silent and remote
D C G G6
A girl whose mouth was a straight line
D C G G6
Looked like a creature out of time
D C G G6
A grey boy burned by cigarettes
Em G G6
Pushed his scarred hands through the fence
[Bridge]
C
When I turned, tried to run
D
I saw ten thousand children
Em
Where lady lines wrapped in white sheets
F A
Along a godforsaken street

To free the children, free them, oh oh

I waited but no angel came

Dm C
To free the children, free them, oh oh
Bb
I prayed and waited for an angel
Dm C
I waited but no angel came
Bb
I prayed an angel broke the clouds
Dm C
To free the children, free them, oh oh
Bb
I prayed and waited for an angel
Dm C
I waited but no angel came
Bb
I prayed an angel broke the clouds
Dm C
To free the children, free them, oh oh
Bb
I prayed and waited for an angel
Dm C
I waited but no angel came

I prayed an angel would come but no angel came
