She was counting her change in the line
At the counter of the grocery store
Every penny every nickel she could find
But she still comes up short
Just a single mom doing the best that she can
When a stranger slips a twenty in the palm of her hand
She turns around to thank him
But he's already disappeared out the door
Just because God doesn't part the sea
Pull you from the fire
Doesn't mean that he's not there
His fingerprints are everywhere
When the mountain that you're climbing seems so tall
And the battle that you're fighting
Makes you feel so all alone
It doesn't mean you're on your own
When you need it most
The world is full of ordinary angels
He got back from a second tour
Of duty six months ago
But when he closes his eyes he's still fighting
That fright right here at home
When the nightmares come in the dead of the night
His little boy runs in turns on the light
He says "Daddy don't you worry"
As he reaches up to kiss him on tippy toes
Just because God doesn't part the sea
Pull you from the fire
Doesn't mean that He's not there
His fingerprints are everywhere
Oh when the mountain that you're climbing seems so tall
And the battle that you're fighting
Makes you feel so all alone
It doesn't mean you're on your own
When you need it most
The world is full of ordinary angels
Ordinary angels
When the mountain that you're climbing seems so tall
And the battle that you're fighting
Makes you feel so all alone
It doesn't mean you're on your own
When you need it most
The world is full of ordinary angels
Ordinary angels
